I have applied this to queue with a RB on all the patches.
It seems like this series applies on top of the merged page tables
stuff, but since I think you're going to repost that, I have just
applied this and fixed up the conflicts.
Could you have a look at kvmarm/queue and let me know if you think it
looks good? (and possibly rebase the merge page tables stuff on top of
there when you rework that series?)
Thanks!
