So, I've been trying to poke people at RedHat over and over for the last 
couple of weeks, but no results so far...

I got a response that the patch didn't apply to master anymore, so I 
came up with a new version [0] of the patch, but afterwards there has 
been radio silence again.

I'm working on a couple of extra patches for libvirt, but I want the 
first patch in their asap since that's the most important one.

If there is somebody with contacts inside RedHat who could help, please 
point them to that patch. I would very much appreciate that!
