Paolo noted that code doesn't get merged right away on Qemu.

consider this:

i)  i don't have any interests whatsoever in Qemu and will never have

ii) i will never have any interests in Qemu

iii) i have zero interests in the code we are updating let alone the bugs i
recently helped report on this list.

iv)i am taking my own time to send this patch which was merely supposed to
reduce any such confusion reporting bugs in the future.

v)* maintainer - patches don't merged right away unless they fix broken
things, i have your patch queued. honestly?*

what are we queuing for? why not just rid of rest of my code because this
is the epitome of maintainer arrogance.
