Most notable fixes from a Proxmox VE perspective are:
* "virtio-net: correctly copy vnet header when flushing TX"
To prevent a stack overflow that could lead to leaking parts of the
QEMU process's memory.
* "hw/pflash: implement update buffer for block writes"
To prevent an edge case for half-completed writes. This potentially
affected EFI disks.
* Fixes to i386 emulation and ARM emulation.
No changes for patches were necessary (all are just automatic context
changes).

Bigger notable changes:
* Commit 1a30b0f5d7 ("block: .bdrv_open is non-coroutine and
unlocked") broke the PVE backup patches, in particular setting up
the backup dump block driver, because bdrv_new_open_driver() cannot
be called from a coroutine. To fix it, bdrv_co_open() is used
instead, and while it's a much more involved function, the result
should be essentially the same. The only difference I noticed is
that the BDRV_O_ALLOW_RDWR flag is also set in the resulting bds
(block driver state), but that shouldn't hurt.
Smaller notable changes:
* aio_set_fd_handler() dropped its 'is_external' parameter stating
that all callers now pass false in 60f782b6b7 ("aio: remove
aio_disable_external() API"). The calls in the PVE patches also
passed false, so just drop the parameter too.
* global_state_store() does not have a return value anymore, so the
user in the PVE savevm-async patch was adapted. For context, see
c33f1829f8 ("migration: never fail in global_state_store()").
* Renames affecting the PVE savevm-async patch:
migrate_use_block() -> migrate_block() and ram_counters -> mig_stats
9d4b1e5f22 ("migration: Move migrate_use_block() to options.c")
aff3f6606d ("migration: Rename ram_counters to mig_stats")

Not difficult to run into, just have a drive with iothread, take a PBS
backup and then take a snapshot or hibernate. Resuming will fail with
> qemu: qemu_mutex_unlock_impl: Operation not permitted
because of not acquiring the correct AioContext first.
Migration is not affected, because it runs in coroutine context.
