Thanks.  I'm assuming "you" there is Anup?

Just to make sure we're on the same page here, I've got

(I know that's kind of a confusing name, but it's what I've been using 
as my short-term staging branch so I can do all my tests before saying 
"it's on for-next").

If that looks OK I can make it a touch more official by putting into the 
RISC-V tree.

Me too ;).

I'm happy to add some KVM-related stuff to my pre-push test set, just 
LMK if there's anything specific I should be looking in to.
