Unrelated to the pull request proper, but I note in MAINTAINERS that you 
have listed:

T: git https://github.com/bonzini/qemu.git scsi-next

Have you switched to gitlab as your personal mirroring preference, and 
if so, should MAINTAINERS be updated?

FWIW: I haven't done any review or testing of the earlier iterations of 
this series.  But since it will be landing soon, I merged this tag to an 
incremental build tree that was previously sitting on a finished 5.1 
build (sources in qemu/, VPATH build in qemu/build/), typed 'make' then 
'make check', and everything finished successfully at least for my 
typical setup.  So good job on getting this massive rewrite in while 
still preserving at least the common 'make' interface.
