OK just adding:

    Signed-off-by: Xuan Zhuo <xuanzhuo@...ux.alibaba.com>
    Acked-by: Jason Wang <jasowang@...hat.com>
	L: virtualization@...ts.linux-foundation.org
	L: netdev@...r.kernel.org

I think we can drop the original Cc list:

Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@...ux-foundation.org>,
	Jens Axboe <axboe@...nel.dk>,
	James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@...senpartnership.com>,
	"Martin K. Petersen" <martin.petersen@...cle.com>,
	Guenter Roeck <linux@...ck-us.net>, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org,
	Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org>

but I'm not sure, maybe they want to be informed.
