Well we are at -rc5 now and Linus specifically said that if he sees one
more "cleanup" he will be less then happy [1]. Looks like this patch
series does have some cleanups that can be postponed to 3.11.
Patches 1-4,7 looks like 3.10 material to me. 5 and 6 a cleanups that can
wait for 3.11. Not sure about 8, if 8 fixes serious problem please
specify it in the commit message.

Agreed.

8 did fix a BUG_ON before patch 7 came along, but now it looks non-critical.

5 only affects IRQ tracing, and it's not a regression, so also probably not critical. I'll resend patch 7 so that it applies without needing patch 5.

6 is mainly doing things that we originally thought were a fix to lazy ee handling, until we noticed code elsewhere handling it in a hackier way. There's still a bugfix in that previously kvm_guest_exit() was called in the wrong place which could occasionally mess up virtual time accounting, but that's also not a regression and not critical.
