I tested the patch ，it work well on x86。Inlcude legacy and modern driver.
And I tested it on arm server also，and find some problem because of 0.9.5 limitation.
 "platform bug: legacy virtio-pci must not be used with RAM above 0x%llxGB\n",
 But the error is not effected by our patch.with or without our patch ,it print the same.
And I test modern dirver,it work well also.
Sorry for the late reply.
