OTOH the kernel patch is much much smaller:

IMHO I'd almost expect to only SRU the kernel change as it is more a "fix" in the SRU sense - and also that much smaller.
I'm clearly open for discussion, and the risk is almost ppc64 only so to some extend since it is IBMs call.
The ppa above shall help testing the qemu change for now.

Also we need to hear from the Kernel Team about potential side effects after their review of the kernel change to see the full picture.
