The bulk of this series is drivers/pci changes, so typically I would
merge all the patches after getting Acked-by tags from the other
subsystems (DRM and VFIO).

We're in the middle of the v6.5 merge window, so it's too late to add
things to v6.5-rc1.  The most likely path for new material like this
would be to queue it for v6.6, which means I would merge it after
v6.5-rc1 is tagged (that tag will probably happen on July 9).

It would then be in -next until the v6.6 merge window opens (likely in
September), when it would be merged into Linus' tree.

If the series fixes a regression or other major defect, it's
*possible* to merge things earlier, so they appear in v6.5.  But this
series doesn't seem to fall in that category, so I think v6.6 is a
more realistic target.

Merging for v6.6 would include both the PCI parts and the DRM parts at
the same time, so hopefully that addresses your dependency concerns.

I suggest that you wait until v6.5-rc1, rebase your patches so they
apply cleanly on that tag, collect all the Reviewed-by and Acked-by
tags, include them in your commit logs, and then repost them.
