Sadly, there isn't a single kernel involved. People running our VMM on

we have to get the VMM folks to urgently accommodate this change and
get a new distribution out.
Ok, this is what is needed to make a more informed choice. To be clear,
this is _still_ not public (for example it's not ChromeOS), so there is
at least some control on what version of the VMM they use? Would it
make sense to buy you a few months by deferring this patch to Linux 6.3-6.5?
Mainline isn't a problem. I'm more worried about 5.19 LTS.
5.19 is not LTS, is it? This patch is only in 6.1.7 and 6.1.8 as far as
stable kernels is concerned, should I ask Greg to revert it there?
