If my tracking is correct, I applied everything in this series except
the following patches
	[PATCH 37/46] Staging: hv: vmbus: Check for events before messages
	[PATCH 41/46] Staging: hv: vmbus: Fix a bug in error handling in vmbus_bus_init()
	[PATCH 46/46] Staging: hv: Update the TODO file

Please fix up patches 37 and 41 and resend, and for 46, that should be
totally different as mentioned, but you might want to send a patch that
at the least adds your name to the file at the bottom, as you wanted.
Also note that the MAINTAINERS file should also be adjusted to match.

thanks,
