It's been my job lately to pick something up for stable, once it gets
applied to master.  But it is usually the patch author or subsystem
maintainer to mark a change as a candidate for -stable, - I can't decide
about every change out there, since I don't have enough expertise in
every area.  You Cc: qemu-stable@ and I pick it up.  I do look at stuff
being applied to master from time to time though, and ask if I see
something which might be worth to pick, as in this case.

BTW, there's another change in this series which might be a good candidate
too, - "qemu-img: rebase: use backing files' BlockBackend for buffer
alignment".  Once again, I dunno if it's worth to pick it up or not,
it's basically up to you to decide.  Basically, you understand much
better what the implications are and if the change fixes actual bug.
