So then if I add some target specific stuff to KVM, I have to

  * send pullreq to KVM
  * wait for that to be applied
  * post a patch to uq/master to update headers
  * wait for that to merge back to qemu.git
  * send a pull request to qemu.git

right? And then after about 3 months we'll have the feature available ;).
