In general I send less and less patches to qemu-stable as we get closer
to the new release, because I'm not sure anymore if they apply.

Let's look at your list:

These could in principle be backported, but the bug was only visible on
aarch64 hosts and only in relatively special circumstances (UEFI
firmware, KVM, virtio-scsi, many disks) so I didn't Cc qemu-stable.

This could be backported, yes.  Feel free to send it to qemu-stable.
However, the bug was only visible with virtio 1.

Part of the above AioContext series.

Not this one, it's new in 2.5.

Probably has conflicts, but can be sent to qemu-stable.

Can be sent to qemu-stable if it applies to 2.4.
