Not strictly needed; I assume that this patch has already seen good

We need to start voting this week for this to make 1.2 (but no worries,
there will be more releases after that, and it is usually sufficient for
a change to make it into the git repository before implementations can

I did not find a github issue for this, so please follow the process
outlined in https://github.com/oasis-tcs/virtio-spec#use-of-github-issues
to request inclusion.
