If you absolutely need those commits, you may be better off just
using qemu's git master branch altogether (which works fine, at
least for me). Grabbing two more or less arbitrary commits from git
and applying them on top of 2.1.0 may cause you to miss other changes
which actually enable those patches to work.

HTH,
