Also these patches have been on the list for over a month -- if they were 5.0-worthy there's been plenty of time for them to be put in. Plus the last email from Alistair on the "target/riscv: Don't set write permissions on dirty PTEs" patch thread is a note saying it shouldn't be applied, unless I've got confused. thanks -- PMM
