I only had a glimpse on the patches so far. From what I've seen, I don't expect much of a problem to bring this series through. I will have a closer look on v2 though. I also have to read the old discussions where I was not involved yet. Soft freeze for QEMU 6.2 is close BTW (November 2nd): https://wiki.qemu.org/Planning/6.2 Best regards, Christian Schoenebeck
