Looks like we were working on similar KVM area recently [1].
It look like parts of our patch sets touch the same code.
Since your patch set is much bigger and comprehensive I will base mine on
top of yours once there are no more incoming review comments for your
patch set (in other words, once it is in its final form).
Thanks,
Maciej
