Hello Nikunj,
what happened to this patch series?
In particular I am interested in the following two patches:

kvm,x86: RCU based table free
Flush page-table pages before freeing them

do you still intend to carry on with the development? Is there anything
missing that is preventing them from going upstream?

Cheers,

Stefano
