This patch is not suitable for 0.14 since in current qemu/master quite
alot of stuff were changed in this area (bitmaps added), there's no
similar infrastructure in 0.14.

The same is true for this patch, but of a less extent: it can be applied
manually (the bitmap_empty context line).

I wonder if something similar actually exists in 0.13/0.14 too and needs
to be backported to -stable.
