The v1 uapi is deprecated and will be replaced by v2 at some point;
this patch just tolerates the renaming of uapi fields to reflect

I do not understand why you need this patch in this series.
Shouldn't it be separate?
This patch is included because of the patch 1 kernel header sync, which
pulls in uapi headers from kernel version 5.18-rc1 + my unmerged kernel
uapi changes.
This patch is unnecessary without a header sync (and in fact would break
QEMU compile), and is unrelated to the rest of the series -- but QEMU
will not compile without it once you update linux uapi headers to
5.18-rc1 (or greater) due to the v1 uapi for vfio migration being
deprecated [1]. This means that ANY series that does a linux header
sync starting from here on will need something like this patch to go
along with the header sync (or a series that replaces v1 usage with v2?).
If this patch looks good it could be included whenever a header sync is
next needed, doesn't necessarily have to be with this series.

arrg, seems I will need it too then.
Thanks,
