Oh yes, I totally missed the patch in your first mail. The first patch
is definitely correct and I'll apply that shortly. While your second
patch is also functionally OK, I'm not entirely happy with creating a
connection object deep inside the QEMU driver code. So I'm going to 
think about whether there's a better way todo that bit.
