I'm ambivalent on that - previously qemu-io was data corrupting
for this scenario, so crashing isn't really that much worse :-)

It is easy enough to reorder these though if that's desired.
The latter patches have no build time dep on the 1st patch, so
its trivial for Kevin to re-order when applying if he thinks it
is worth it.
