K.Y.,

can you pls clarify the state of this patch? It is a bit unclear
to me whether it is applied or not.

By the way, I also do not see the following patch
"drivers/hv: cleanup synic msrs if vmbus connect failed"
as applied in the Linux-next. You have promised to resend
it will correct author.

Thank you in advance,
     Den
