If this is a second version of the patch, then you should have v2 in the
subject line ('git send-email -v2' is your friend).

Huh? This mail is titled 0/7, so I only expect 7 parts.  Oh...

...reviewers don't expect to see patch contents in the cover letter.  If
you truly have eight parts, then they should be numbered 1/8 through
8/8, and this cover letter 0/8 should contain only a diffstat summary of
those 8 patches.

Furthermore, your threading appears to be wrong - your remaining patches
each start their own thread instead of being in reply to this cover
letter.  Please make sure you set In-Reply-To headers correctly when
sending a series.

http://wiki.qemu.org/Contribute/SubmitAPatch has more hints on how to
send a patch series.
