Depending on !KVM isn't even an option as far as I'm concerned. It basically
makes this all dead code.

As for awaiting an ack on the kvm hotplug patch, afaict, Akashi was going
to address James's comments on the last posting [1].

Why do you say that? v13 attracted lots of comments from a variety of
reviewers, so the onus is on you to address that feedback and post a
new version. Alternatively, declare that you no longer to intend to work
on the series, and perhaps then somebody else can pick it up and finish
the job.
