  Hi!

Thank you very much for your interest in the QEMU GSoC projects!

Did you send the patches to the mailing list here? I didn't see them on the 
list here yet ...

QEMU requires patches to be sent to the mailing list, not to be submitted 
via pull requests. Please see this URL for details:

The mentor for the AMD topic is Paolo (according to 
https://wiki.qemu.org/Google_Summer_of_Code_2021#Complete_AMD_virtualization_emulation 
) ... I've put him on CC:
