Thanks!  I'll look at the code, but I've currently got this queued up behind
your hypervisor patches so it might take a bit.  LMK if you want me to invert
the priority on these.  I'll probably be buried until the start of July.

Let's move the Hypervisor patches to the back then. There is a new
spec version now anyway so I'll have to update them for that.

OK.  Do you want me to just drop them and wait for a v2 / draft 0.4?
