I have some initial patches that Guenter made up for 4.4 that ignores
the KVM stuff, as odds are those will be good to get merged.  Should I
post them here or push them to the git tree?  I haven't checked to see
if I have write permissions...

Or should I just not worry about it and queue them up in my stable trees
when the embargo lifts?
