Yes, it _applied_ fine, because of git's insistence on applying hunks
regardless of line fuzzing. It probably applied to 'drive-mirror',
since I see this context in the section for 'drive-mirror' when reading
the unpatched file at current qemu.git head:

I don't care either way as long as it gets fixed before 1.6; it all
depends on how long the review of the rest of your series takes.
