Since you mentioned that you were planning to merge this patch, I'd
like to point out that a related change[1] is on its way to Linus via
the KVM tree for 6.19. It is also in -next due to dependencies.

Could you please place these patches on a branch that I can pull in
the kvmarm tree to resolve the conflict? It really amounts to
reverting this patch now that we are guaranteed to have PAN on an
PAN- machine.

Thanks,

	M.
