No.

I've had enough with the big random kvm pull requests.

NONE of this has been in linux-next before the merge window. In fact,
None of it was there even the first week of the merge window.

So by all means send me fixes.

But no more of this last-minute development stuff, which clearfly was
not ready to go before the merge window started, and must have been
some wild last-minute merging thing.

kvm needs to make stability as a priority.
