Assuming that I have got that right, there are concerns, mostly regarding
patch [07/26], but I will reply to that directly.
The $subject patch is fine by me by itself, but it obviously depends on the
previous ones. Patches [01-02/26] are fine too, but they don't seem to be
particularly useful without the rest of the series.
As far as patches [10-26/26] go, I'd like to see some review comments and/or
tags from the people with vested interest in there, in particular from Daniel
on patch [12/26] and from Sudeep on the PSCI ones.
Thanks,
Rafael
