Subtle hint noted ;) 

I'll build a fresh tree - any remaining rebases until QEMU 9.0 should be
straight forward anyway.   My ideal is that the NUMA GP series lands early
in 9.1 cycle and this can go in parallel.  I'd really like to
get this in early if possible so we can start clearing some of the other
stuff that ended up built on top of it!
