this patch is not yet part of the kvm repo. It was posted for review
and I added it on the kvms390 linux next branch. So I assume you have gotten
that patch via next?


Given that there might be more potential feedback and
given that I will respin my next branch (I have no consumers, so my next
branch is rebased from time to time), and then the patch will go
from my tree via Paolos kvm tree into Linus tree, I would prefer to fold in
your patches and adopt the commit message to give you some credit.
ok with you?
