Alternatively, we could have a dedicated selftests/kvm tree (or branch)?

I almost suggested doing that on multiple occasions this cycle, but ultimately
decided not to because it would effectively mean splitting series that touch KVM
and selftests into different trees, which would create a different kind of
dependency hell.  Or maybe a hybrid approach where series that only (or mostly?)
touch selftests go into a dedicated tree?

I get the feeling that I'm overthinking things though, this level of activity and
conflicts should be relatively rare.
