Jan,

What's your last judgement?

Could we apply these two separate patches in advance? I think actually 
they aren't blocking the remains what we tried to do in another RFC 
series, but now we really need them to make sure GFX passthrough can 
work well.

For that RFC I have to take more time to cover all scenarios, so as you 
saw its really a slow process I can push forward.

Thanks
Tiejun
