Because if turned on in qemu.conf the feature has possibility of killing
libvirtd every now and then. That's why we need to patch it before the
release.
I didn't follow the discussion around the feature itself so I
apologize in advance if this ends up being just noise, but can we
not just make it so we don't recognize the corresponding qemu.conf
option for this release, thus making the feature impossible to turn
on for all intents and purposes, and reintroduce the knob once the
4.9.0 cycle starts so that we have plenty of time to work out any
remaining kinks in the implementation? That seems like it would be
the prudent thing to do.
