That's a bit annoying.  KVM parts of "Support Common Not Private
translations" should not have gone through the arm64 tree.  Instead,
Catalin should have placed the first patches in a topic branch for you
to pull.

This minimizes the effort for everyone else, basically.  Conflicts need
to be sorted out by Stephen Rothwell, myself and Linus/Greg, while topic
branches just work.

If it weren't for the include/uapi/linux/kvm.h change, where I have to
sort the capability numbers as they are assigned by the various
architecture maintainers(*), I would have told you to just send the pull
request to Catalin this time through (but that would just be a band-aid,
it should not be the norm).  Anyway, just remember this next time.

Thanks,

Paolo
