For a big patchset like this the easiest thing is to just ask
Michael if he has a public git repo with the patches in (I've
cc'd him).

Otherwise there are a couple of tools: you can use patchwork:
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/qemu-devel/list/
(you need to search for the relevant patches and download the
'mbox' files for them to 'git am' one at a time; unfortunately
patchwork doesn't yet know about patch series to let you download
a series all at once). Or you can use the 'patches' tool:
https://github.com/aliguori/patches
That needs to be installed locally, but it does know about
patch series and it can directly apply a whole series to your
local git tree.

For a one-off use the patchwork website is easier, since
there's no need to install anything locally. (It's also
more forgiving of misformatted patch emails.) If you're going
to make a habit of applying patches from the mailing list,
the patches tool is easier to use and will repay the up-front
effort of downloading it and figuring out its UI.
