As far as I can see, nothing has been applied to any tree, neither
qemu.git nor qemu-kvm.git.

You still need to submit a fixed version of this patch against
qemu-kvm.git, uq/master branch (which is qemu.git effectively). Then
Marcelo or Avi can pick it up and push it to upstream. Once it's merged
there, qemu-kvm.git will update from upstream, and you will have your
patch applied to both trees.
