To me, Paolo's workflow seems reasonable and efficient from practical
point of view. No unnecessary multitude of repeated series or pull sending,
and no single person is burdened with majority of work being done just by
himself for any given case of series like this one. Also, it looks to me it is
quite efficient wrt possible conflict and rebase issues, that will be taken
care by both KVM/MIPS and KVM/general submitters/maintainers.

I suggest we keep Paolo's workflow plan for this series, but, more
importantly, if you guys all agree, in future as well.

Sincerely,
Aleksandar
