I really hate to repeat myself... We receive lots of patches per day, so
please make your patches easy to read, easy to understand and easy to
review. If you check qemu-devel or the archives, you'll find many good
examples that get committed - most people get this right on second try.
Please don't ignore our comments from previous series:

You previously sent a v3 series, now there's two unversioned series
again. These should be v4 and v5 and should ALWAYS include a bulleted
change log since initial version. This is to tell apart which is the
latest series and which is superseded. v4 should include something like:

"Changes since v3" (or short "v3 -> v4"):
* Drop CPU load/save from series

v2 -> v3:
...

v1 -> v2:
...

If v5 changed nothing but the cover letter, there would be no need to
resend it, explanations for us can be added as a normal email reply.

If you're missing feedback, best just reply to your cover letter with
"Ping?" so that we have a chance of reviewing the email thread with
previous comments.

More in the individual patches.
