It's not that complicated; just get all the patches applied and use 'git
rebase -i', mark Paolo's commit as edit, when it stops at that commit
do:

 # git commit -s --amend -C HEAD --author 'Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini at redhat.com>'
 # git rebase --continue

and the '-s' to the commit should add your signed-off-by automatically.
