[PATCH] MAINTAINERS: add kvm list for virtio components

[PATCH] MAINTAINERS: add kvm list for virtio components

[Paolo Bonzini]

The KVM list is followed by more people than the generic
virtualization@lists.linux-foundation.org mailing list, and is
already "de facto" the place where virtio patches are posted.

pv-ops still has no other lists than virtualization@lists.linux-foundation.org.
However, pv-ops patches will likely touch Xen or KVM files as well and
the respective mailing list will usually be reached as well.

I have no data on the first statement (do you?) and I disagree with the
last statement, but have no objection to people adding kvm list as well.

So pls please replace the 1st paragraph in the commit log with
"virtio changes are likely to affect many KVM users as virtio is
 the de-facto standard for PV devices under KVM". Otherwise ok.

Well, the kvm list is far more active.  It's annoying to have two lists,
but it is how things are so best to document it.

I'm OK with the original commit message, but MST is smarter than me, so
let's do what he suggests :)

Cheers,
Rusty.
