Hmm, i wonder when they regressed that behaviour *again*. We've fixed
that in QEMU at least twice in the past. I'd like to see us explore
when this changed in QEMU and whehter we should fix it there instead.

Also, this is probably classified as needing a CVE, since previous
regressions in this area were recorded security issues IIRC. Which
again means we need to investigate just when this behavioural change
happened.

Regards,
Daniel
