I'd certainly like it to be independent of the KVM series, specially as this series is pretty explicit that this MTE lock is not required for KVM. This will require some rework of patch #2, I believe. And while we're at it, a rebase on 5.13-rc4 wouldn't hurt, as both patches #3 and #5 conflict with it... Thanks, M. -- Jazz is not dead. It just smells funny...
