Please resend without slirp changes.  I suggest including the
individual block/raw-posix.c patch you sent in the new series too.

If you're doing a whitespace patch please include the 3-space
indentation issues that checkpatch.pl reports in block/raw-posix.c.

Please use a prefix in your commit messages, for example "raw-posix:
whitespace cleanup".  This gives each commit a unique, useful message
which communicates more than "Yet another whitespace cleanup"-style
messages.
