Eduardo is still on vacation; the patch is okay but the KVM parts are
still in kvm/queue, so I'm just waiting for him (Radim owns the KVM tree
right now).  Feel free to post any patch on top of it.  You can add

Based-on: <1518185725-69559-1-git-send-email-wanpengli@xxxxxxxxxxx>

when you post anything needing KVM_HINTS_DEDICATED, that way patchew can
apply your series and test it correctly.

Thanks,

Paolo
