We should see this showing up in linux-next imminently. Assuming there
are no issues there, your changes will be sent out as part of the kvmarm

At least in kvmarm, /next is used for patches that'll land in the next
merge window and /fixes is for bugfixes that need to go in the current
release cycle.
