another issue, the "arch/riscv/kvm/Kconfig" line above comes from a
commit that is not in the riscv-tree at all but in the kvm-tree [0],
making this patch fail to apply onto riscv/for-next alone.

If you have multiple independent patch series in flight, like shown in
the github branch you references, it might be easier to base each on
top of the relevant branch cleanly and after one gets applied rebase
the other ones.

That way you're not dependent on the others going in first and also
people can test patch series individually without too much hassle.

Thanks
Heiko
