In this case, conflicts may only be caused between
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.kvm.devel/91186 (pc: Enable
MSI support at APIC level) and this particular patch (that requires some
more work anyway).

Maybe you can test-merge the KVM pull in your current tree that is
supposed to go in first and ask Avi/Marcelo to the provide uq/master
baseline on top of yours in case of conflicts. I would provide an update
of my patches on top of that afterward.
