If there are no other concerns from anyone else, and Tony is ok to sign
off, then I would say it's safe to pull the patch.

I do have a v2 of my QEMU changes that need to be reviewed so it would
probably ok to pull the kernel patches now.

QEMU v2 patches: [RFC PATCH v2 0/5] Report vfio-ap configuration changes

Unless someone else has any concerns with my kernal changes?

Thanks!
