Thank you for working on this. I've accepted this into bionic-proposed as I see no reason to hold it on the following points, but I would like the following cleared up please.
I don't understand why this bug needs to be fixed in Bionic from a user perpsective. From the background its clear to me that it is a problem that qualifies for an SRU, but all I can gather from this bug is that it's a problem with the vhost-user interface when there are more than 8 discontiguous memory regions. The bug you reference makes me none the wiser. Why does this create an impact to qemu users on Bionic? For example, is it that there's particular hardware where this is always the case? What's the actual *user* use case that's broken here, as distinct from a technical explanation of the root cause of the bug? The second query is on the test case. Can you detail what steps would be carried out to test this even if you can't do it yourself? We have an obligation to other users of qemu to clear this up as the SRU process is a community one, the results are consumed by the community, and if there is a regression then they deserve to know why we made changes, so I'd appreciate it if you could clear this up.
