This series updates a few maintainer entries for VMware-maintained
subsystems and cleans up references to VMware's private mailing lists
to make it clear that they are effectively email-aliases to reach out
to reviewers.
Changes from v3->v4:
- Remove Cc: [email protected] from patches 1 and 2.
Changes from v1->v3:
- Add Zack as the named maintainer for vmmouse driver
- Use R: to denote email-aliases for VMware reviewers
Regards,
Srivatsa

Deep has decided to transfer maintainership of the VMware hypervisor
interface to Srivatsa, and the joint-maintainership of paravirt ops in
the Linux kernel to Srivatsa and Alexey. Update the MAINTAINERS file
to reflect this change.

VMware mailing lists in the MAINTAINERS file are private lists meant
for VMware-internal review/notification for patches to the respective
subsystems. Anyone can post to these addresses, but there is no public
read access like open mailing lists, which makes them more like email
aliases instead (to reach out to reviewers).
So update all the VMware mailing list references in the MAINTAINERS
file to mark them as such, using "R: [email protected]".
