I have to go through the motions of creating a sourceforge project for this and uploading it. And yes, it is free.

Don't even bother creating a project. Just submit the patches back to QEMU. There's been a lot of discussion about this functionality within QEMU. There's no reason to fork QEMU yet again (Xen has given up and is now maintaining a patch queue). In this case, there's no reason why you would even need a patch queue.

We don't plan to fork qemu, too much good stuff is being added there. However I want to submit the patch for inclusion only after (if?) the driver is merged into the mainline kernel. The patch is also not very pretty at the moment.

I'll post it as a patch and probably a binary rpm for the lazy.
