Adding qapi & net folks to Cc.  Ping.

How to go forward with the QAPI bits in this series (Patches 1-9)?
Patch #1 got reviews from block folks.  Patch #3 has a comment from
Eduardo pending.  What about the other ones?  Fine as-is?  I remember
from the pre-2.4 freeze discussions that there at least was agreement
that flattening the qapi structs is the way to go.

I'd prefer if the qapi maintainers can pick up and merge these patches.
But I can also merge them via audio queue if I get reviews from the qapi
maintainers.

thanks,
  Gerd
