The purpose of the topic branch is to allow all the commits to be in all the trees they need to be in at once. So you should send this branch as a PR to the next logical upstream tree gvt patches normally go through, in the usual way that you send PRs. Especially in this case where there is a small merge conflict internal to DRM to resolve. I'm assuming this is the drm-intel-next tree? Once DRM is internally happy then VFIO can merge it as well. You can view VFIO as the secondary path to Linus, DRM as primary. Alex will mention in his pull request that VFIO has a 'shared branch with DRM for gvt'. Jason
