All the stuff I've been hearing about CC is that timely guest support
is a really important thing. Right now the majority of the CC world is
running on propritary hypervisors, it is the guest enablement that is
something a wide group of people will be able to actually consume and
use.

It needs to get into mainline to be able to reach distros about a year
before anyone offers an ARM CC VM to the public. Various x86 guest
only parts for CC are already merged.

The KVM side is absolutely really important as well, but x86 has
managed for a long time now with KVM being out of tree. The KVM side
is far more complex at least.

So I'd split out the guest side and just send it, I saw a few comments
already, but it looks like it shouldn't be an issue to make it this
cycle or next? Keep sending guest enablement updates when the spec is
stable and you have some way to do basic test.
