Since the detection of this feature is not limited to existing qemus, my requirement that qemu must add acknowledgement that "x-use-canonical-path-for-ramblock-id" will be treated as a stable feature from now on and the qemu commit adding that must be mentioned in this commit. The only other way is to limit the feature detection to any released qemu (thus qemu-5.2 and previous), since we still will not get a guarantee that they will not change the flag in the future.
