This is the most recent version of the patch series. However, there was an 
unresolved question about migration compatibility for the vmstate layout (patch 
2/3). First, it's not clear to me that we care about migrating SD instances 
across qemu versions -- is this important? If not, it seems that the simple fix 
is to bump the vmstate version number and be done with it. If we do need to 
support migration, I'm very hazy on the correct way to handle this, or how to 
test it. I posted a suggestion here:
https://www.mail-archive.com/address@hidden/msg343178.html
... it would be helpful to get some guidance on that, if you want me to pursue 
this path.

The other two patches in the series already got a Reviewed-By from Peter C. 
Once we nail the migration issue, I can rebase the patches and they should be 
ready to go.

Thanks,
Andrew
