Fun, isn't > it? This looks good to me. Catalin + Will, are you comfortable with the cpufeature changes at this point? No strong opinions on which tree these patches get applied to. Most of the series is non-KVM code, so I'd understand if y'all wanted it to go through arm64. OTOH, there are some other KVM features that might appear in 6.9 that build on top of this, so at minimum I'd probably need a shared branch. LMK what you think.

Yes, I acked those touching the arm64 files. > No strong opinions on which tree these patches get applied to.

Please take it through the arm64 kvm tree but keep it on a separate stable branch in case I need to pull it.

I've pushed it out to kvmarm/next.
