It would be really nice if you managed to get this rebased on current
upstream and sent out again. I'd certainly ack the x86 bits if the
Kconfig issue that 0day found was fixed up.

Also, one nit on the cover letter:

The way I'd suggest going about getting this merged is to solicit
reviews and testing from folks and then get those annotations into the
patches. As it stands, this series has zero tags in addition to the SoB
tags which I assume were its authors.
