I've pulled the first patch into my testing/next, but the second
conflicts with the inflight patch which adds checksums:

  From: =?UTF-8?q?Alex=20Benn=C3=A9e?= <alex.bennee@linaro.org>

You can either wait and re-base once the PR goes in (I'll send a pre-PR
Monday) or do you can re-base directly off my branch at:

  https://gitlab.com/stsquad/qemu/-/tree/testing/next

and send the tested patch mentioning its based off my testing/next and
I'll include it in the pre-PR.
