While the patch itself is small, it's not straightforward to tell what the implications of
- l = MIN(l, TARGET_PAGE_SIZE);
+ l = MIN(l, 0x10000);
are. Also: looks like the patch has not been applied upstream yet, and there's some active discussion about it in the qemu-devel mailing list.
Given that AIUI a very specific configuration is required to trigger this bug, I think we should delay adding it as an Ubuntu delta at least until accepted upstream. Would you find this a sensible approach? Thanks!
