there was a reply yesterday which looked more like a nack still :-/
I pinged Benjamin on IRC.
But as deadlines are closing and this is a post Feature Freeze addition which might end up super hard to maintain I hope you get it accepted so that we can update it to what is upstream.
FYI: I discussed with a few others and the general recommendation seems to be to otherwise (not accepted in time) drop it from qemu in 18.04 so that you can bring it in later on.
