That makes sense. However, I'm not sure if there is much left to sync with 
upstream? The code structure might be similar to upstream and maybe a few 
helper functions are the same (I'm not sure about that), but all in all the 
code seems to be pretty much specific to qemu.

So if there are any chances that we actually will merge upstream changes in 
future, I'm glad to change that one line. But if this is going to remain a 
purely theoretical option, I would prefer to change the indentation.
