Not all emails, but just the series _resubmissions_. It's much better
not to rush, make sure you got all the comments correctly and resubmit
only then. Should you have any doubts, just ask and wait for some time
(day-two-three). It will be easier and much less troublesome to fully
clarify things first and then send out a close-to-what-was-requested
patchset - less emails traffic in the inboxes, a discussion
concentrated in a single place in the LKML archive, more happy
reviewers/maintainers - less meticulous notes.)

Ok. Thanks for re-submitting the MSI-related discussion to the
respective patch. I'll revise the rest of the v11 discussions anyway
so not to miss the notes gist and get back to reviewing your series in
2-4 days.
