Great -- please let me know if/when it explodes...

Sorry, will include that on CC for future submissions (obviously didn't
appear in the get_maintainers.pl output).

That's the GIC device ID type change right? I think that just requires a
recompile on my part, with no changes to the code. I've been working off
kvm-arm-master and updating fairly frequently (current HEAD a73616f165).

I see you posted v14 of the kernel patches too, so I'll try and get round
to looking at those this week.

Cheers,

Will
