This is just a term I made up for when a series is deemed ready to be 
considered for inclusion by x86 maintainer team.

I believe that Babu's series is ready for inclusion and can be merged first.
It is at:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20231003235430.1231238-1-babu.moger@amd.com/

Maciej is already planning to send a new version of this series and can
rebase on top of Babu's work at that time.

Thank you very much.
