Christian, please drop your KVM changes from and send "standalone" KVM-only patches after the FD_{ADD,PREPARE}() infrastructure has landed. Shoving things like that into -next just before the merge window, without having been Cc'd to the relevant maintainers or even kvm@, without changelogs, and on a short week for many of us, is not acceptable.
