Hi Alex, Pasha, Mike, and Pratyush,

I'd like to discuss which maintainer tree should take the VFIO Live
Update series.

For context on related efforts:

  - PCI Live Update is targeting the Live Update tree (maintained by
    Pasha, Mike, and Pratyush, with David Matlack maintaining the
    PCI-specific code).
    https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/20260710212616.1351130-2-dmatlack@google.com/

  - IOMMU Live Update is planned to go through the IOMMU tree.
    https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iommu/20260614233728.2212104-3-skhawaja@google.com/

Given these different approaches, what is your preference for routing
the VFIO Live Update code?

Thanks
Vipin Sharma
