For what it is worth, I've just gave this series a run as a KVM/arm64
guest, running some Linaro OE userspace.

While this doesn't exercise any of the driver code (the guest is
entirely virtio based, and I have a separate patch series for this), the
core code looks solid enough.

I'm looking forward to seeing this series in next.

Thanks,
