Oh, I can and will certainly test if the code breaks pr mode, but that doesn't mean it will do the right thing on HV machines :o. > > What would be the path for these patches to get upstream?

Would Avi > pull Ben's next branch, or would they go in via Ben's tree? Usually the ppc tree gets merged into Avi's tree and goes on from there. When we have interdependencies, we can certainly do it differently though. We can also shove them through Ben's tree this time around, as there are more dependencies on ppc code than KVM code. > > Thanks, > Paul. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
