Actually, if Shivank is ok with it, I'd be happy to post the next version(s). I'll be focusing on the in-place conversion support for the next 1-2 weeks, and have some (half-baked) refactoring changes to better leverage the inode support from this series. I can also plop the first three patches (the non-KVM changes) in a topic branch straightaway, but not feed it into -next until the merge window closes. The 0-day bots scrapes kvm-x86, so that'd get us some early build-bot exposure, and we can stop bugging the non-KVM folks. Then when the dust settles on the KVM changes, I can throw them into the same topic branch.
