Brett, can you elaborate on what's missing from my next branch vs
linux-next?

AFAICT the pds_vdpa driver went into mainline via a8d70602b186 ("Merge
tag 'for_linus' of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mst/vhost") during the
v6.5 merge window and I'm not spotting anything in linux-next obviously
relevant to pds-vfio-pci since then.

There's a debugfs fix on the list, but that's sufficiently trivial to
fixup on merge if necessary.  This series also applies cleanly vs my
current next branch.  Was the issue simply that I hadn't updated my
next branch (done yesterday) since the v6.5 merge window?  You can
always send patches vs mainline.  Thanks,

Alex
