Hi all, The goal of the series is to give a chance to the architecture to validate VIRTIO device features. in this respin: 1) I kept removed the ack from Jason as I reworked the patch @Jason, the nature and goal of the patch did not really changed please can I get back your acked-by with these changes? 2) I suppressed the unnecessary verbosity of the architecture specific patch 3) put back the arch specific code inside arch/s390/mm/init.c after offline discussion with Christian.
