In the future, please don't do that. *Always* base your patches
on something stable (preferably an early -rc, as I usually start
pulling stuff in around -rc3).

kvmarm/next is a moving target, and basing things on top of it
results in an uncontrolled dependency chain. If your series depends
on something and makes it impossible to base your patches on an rc,
please state so (this isn't the case here).

Thanks,
