I'm happy to see you taking care of the KVM part. So how is your plan to handle patches ? Do want to collect them and send pull requests to me ? Or should I just pick them up with your Acked-by ? And could you do me a favour and check your mail setup. I always get failed deliveries: chenhc@lemote.com SMTP error from remote mailer after end of data: host mxbiz1.qq.com [203.205.232.191]: 550 Mail content denied. http://servic e.exmail.qq.com/cgi-bin/help?subtype=1&&id=20022&&no=1000726 or chenhc@lemote.com SMTP error from remote mailer after end of data: host mxbiz1.qq.com [203.205.232.191]: 550 Ip frequency limited. http://servi ce.exmail.qq.com/cgi-bin/help?subtype=1&&id=20022&&no=1000725 Thomas.

If you don't mind, I generally prefer to have MIPS changs submitted through the KVM tree, because KVM patches rarely have intrusive changes in generic arch files. It's more common to have generic KVM patches that require touching all architectures. For 5.8 I don't have anything planned that could cause conflicts, so this time it doesn't matter; but I can pick these up too if Thomas acks patches 6, 12 and 14. Thanks, Paolo

No unnecessary multitude of repeated series or pull sending, and no single person is burdened with majority of work being done just by himself for any given case of series like this one. Also, it looks to me it is quite efficient wrt possible conflict and rebase issues, that will be taken care by both KVM/MIPS and KVM/general submitters/maintainers. I suggest we keep Paolo's workflow plan for this series, but, more importantly, if you guys all agree, in future as well.

James Hogan has become inactive for a long time and leaves KVM for MIPS orphan. I'm working on KVM/Loongson and attempt to make it upstream both in kernel and QEMU, while Aleksandar Markovic is already a maintainer of QEMU/MIPS. We are both interested in QEMU/KVM/MIPS, and we have already made some contributions in kernel and QEMU. If possible, we want to take the KVM/MIPS maintainership.
