We shortly discussed this in ELCE, and this can either go through the
arm-soc tree or directly to Linus; however Arnd prefers really.

The previous RFC iteration was reviewed quite extensively (especially
by Grant. thanks Grant!) but I was hoping to get some more review or
feedback on this iteration as well (any form of Acked-by, Reviewed-by,
+1-by or No-way-by are welcome).

At this point I know of at least four vendors (besides TI) who are
actively looking into supporting this, and it's getting a bit hard to
collaborate, so I plan to get this into linux-next later this week
(minus the virtio-spec.txt change which I'll send directly to you,
Rusty) in the hope of getting this merged into 3.3.

Can I add your Acked-by on the virtio parts (mainly patches 3 and 6) ?

Thanks!
Ohad.
