The patch set mentioned in the bug entry is included in Qemu 2.6.0. The update from our packages to v2.6.0 was pushed today to our source code repos, you can build and test it from there if you want.

We will test it quite some time until we can be sure that its safely to move the new KVM/QEMU package to our package repos.


cheers,
Thomas
