So, just to bring this to a conclusion, obviously Linus is 
insisting on it, so I've removed tools/kvm from tip:auto-latest, 
by going back from the daily merges (where tip:master was == 
tip:next) to the older complete reintegration merges to 
linux-next every couple of weeks.

This way tools/kvm will still be available in tip:master (merged 
after full integrations) and there are still the usual daily (or 
more frequent) delta-merges of tip:master as new bits get ready 
- with the occasional riskier total reintegration done for 
linux-next.

It's obviously not optimal, but that's the best I could come up 
with given the constraints.

Thanks,

	Ingo
