Adding qemu-stable; this needs to be back-ported, and can be applied
independently from your series.

For the record, this is now assigned CVE-2017-2630.  My apologies for
introducing the bug in the first place (commit 7d3123e).  The maintainer
may want to touch up the commit message to give those further details,
since it is security-related.
