I personally do not care about qemu-kvm anymore and will likely stop
contributing to it once device assignment is merged. So I have no real
opinion on this patch. But as we are discussing this in another thread
right now [1], I rather wonder what are the requirements for Fedora to
finally switch to QEMU upstream.
