FYI, don't bother reviewing this version. Sashiko found several glaring flaws, but I just realized that sashiko-bot's emails are only being sent to myself and linux-hyperv@vger.kernel.org. I'll make sure to highlight the changes in the next version. In the meantime, Sashiko's feedback is archived on lore if you want to see me get torched by AI :-)
