The remote pages concept and SPP patches on their own would be hefty series to review. It would be very helpful to reviewers to reorder the patches and only send the bits that are absolutely mandatory for initial support. For example, AFAICT the SPP support and remote pages concept are largely performance related and not functionally required. Note, this wouldn't prevent you from carrying the series in its entirety in your own branches. Possible reordering: - Bug fixes (if any patches qualify as such) - Emulator changes - KVM preparatory patches - Basic instrospection functionality ------>8-------- cut the series here - Optional introspection functionality (if there is any) - SPP and introspection integration - Remote pages and introspection integration
