In order for us to ensure no regression was introduced, would it be possible if you could list the backport planned and testing instructions.

Thanks.

Hi Lawrence,

I had to do a respin of the original patch set, so the changes I had
planned for this bug are going in with that. It may turn out that this
one becomes a non-issue after all.

The two changes that were relevant was a fix for special characters
when specifying file sizes, which shouldn't be an issue, and a fix
that prevents qemu from crashing if one tries to do a snapshot without
specifying a filename for the snapshot image.

Cheers,
Jes

The outstanding issues have been resolved through other patches, so I do
not believe this one is needed.
