arch/*/kvm/ fixes usually go through the kvm.git though :) KVM arch
code, after it is reasonably stable, usually depends more on kvm common
code then arch code and kvm development suppose to happen against
kvm.git otherwise APIs can go out of sync. I need to get acks of MIPS
people before taking patches of course.

When patch series touches code outside of arch/*/kvm, like David says
the next one will, it make sense to merge it through MIPS tree, just
please take KVM maintainers ACK for kvm part.
