I don't really care which tree takes this particular patch set.

However, in the near future, I will be sending revised versions of 
patches needed by MIPS/KVM that are in files outside of the 
arch/mips/kvm directory and it is possible that those may suffer patch 
ordering problems if merged through a 'foreign tree'.

In any event, there is the problem with the whitespace error in the 
comment.  I blame checkpatch.pl for not flagging it, but that is not 
really a good excuse.  If it goes by the KVM tree, do you want me to 
send a corrected patch?  Or can you fix it when you merge it.
