Bad SoB chain, should be:

  Signed-off-by: Maxim Levitsky <mlevitsk@...hat.com>
  Co-developed-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@...hat.com>
  Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@...hat.com>

Interestingly, git-apply drops the second, redundant SoB and yields

  Co-developed-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@...hat.com>
  Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@...hat.com>
  Signed-off-by: Maxim Levitsky <mlevitsk@...hat.com>

Which will probably get you yelled at by Stephen's scripts :-)

A few nits below...

Please run these out to 80 chars, it saves a whole line!
