Yep, sure.

About this series I think is better to split in two series since it 
became very long. Patchwork [1] also complains here [2].

You can send a first series with patches from 1 to 7. These patches are 
reviewed by me and can go regardless of the discussion of the VIRTIO 
specifications.
Maybe you can also add the patch with the test to this first series.

Please specify in the cover letter that the implementation for virtio 
devices is under development and will be sent later.

When it will be merged in the net-next tree, you can post the second 
part with the rest of the series that implements SEQPACKET for virtio 
devices, possibly after we received an agreement for the specifications.

Please use the "net-next" tag and take a look at 
Documentation/networking/netdev-FAQ.rst about netdev development.

Anyway, in the next days (hopefully tomorrow) I'll review the rest of 
the series related to virtio devices and spec.

Thanks,
Stefano
