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.
