Sergio: Have you or Paolo had any contact with the Veertu or Google
authors about your Hypervisor.framework project?  If you're already in
contact with them you could raise the issue and ask them to join this
email thread.

There are benefits to having this code upstream.  If they ever want to
rebase on qemu.git there will be less work for them.
