Re: [PATCH v8 0/6] Some improvements of resctrl selftest

+x86 maintainers

Dear kselftest and x86 maintainers,

I am wondering about the appropriate path for this series and
also other pending resctrl selftest patches. Would you prefer it
routed via x86 or kselftest? If x86 I expect that we have to do
a better job of including x86 maintainers in all resctrl
selftest patch reviews.
