Ok, given that:

- We have decided that from now onwards ACPI IORT patches should go
  via the ARM64 tree
- This series does not yet handle ARM SMMU MSIs (but it has to and I
  want to see how this will work - waiting for spec updates)
- It depends on fixes that will get merged via the v4.11 arm64 queue
- We are at -rc7 and I do not think it is fair at all to ask Will
  and Catalin to pull this code now given that it comes out of thin
  air for them
- Last but not least: it is not bad to take time for the dust to
  settle given that we merged lots of IORT code last two cycles

I have decided that the whole series will be considered v4.12
material, I do not expect it to be a major disruption given that
we should have a stable code base for it come v4.11-rc1 (inclusive
of Agustin's key probe deferral series).

Thanks,
Lorenzo
