The patches are built on your linux-next branch which I updated
yesterday.

I am based on this commit:
776b7b25f10b (origin/linux-next) vhost: add an RPMsg API

On top of that I merged
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mellanox/linux.git

and after that I have Jason's patches (five patches), than one patch
from Max and then my patches (seven).

It builds fine on x84_64.
I fixed some conflicts on Jason's patches.

I also tested it to verify it's working.

BTW, for some reason I did not get all the patches into my mailbox and I
suspect they were not all sent. Did you get all the series 0-13?

Please let me know, and if needed I'll resend.
