Not in all cases.  qemu-trivial is a catch-all for simple patches so
we don't forget them.  It was a solution to the problem that patches
were often forgotten if they touch a QEMU subsystem that isn't
actively maintained.

In the case where you know there is an active maintainer - like pci,
block, ppc, tracing, etc - then it's fine to send it via the
maintainer instead of qemu-trivial.  qemu-trivial is a safety net so
that we don't drop simple patches just because no one feels
responsible for them.

Jun Koi: It's worth CCing the maintainer (see ./MAINTAINERS) so they
don't miss your patch.
