I'm not sure what to mention. From a stability point of view, all the Book3S patches should go in .33 because they all fix severe bugs.

But then again the question is what our goal for .33 is. If we only want to give out the message "KVM for Book3S is coming! Stay tuned!" then we shouldn't do any updates for .33. If we want to have something working to the best of our knowledge, all patches should go into .33.
