I notice there were review comments from multiple people on this patch.
To the best of my knowledge, those comments have been addressed in this
version, but I only had a cursory look and am by no means an expert on
ARM64.
My assumption is Arnd's review is good enough for this patch to get
merged.
With that assumption, I have applied this whole series to hyperv-next.
ARM64 maintainers, please let me know if you have an objection -- I can
drop the series and let Roman address further comments.
Thanks,
Wei.
