> Just wanted stable maintainers to note that Jim, Paolo & myself decided eventually to revert this commit along with commit ae1f57670703 on upstream KVM. However, it is true that this commit makes commit ae1f57670703 more complete. Therefore we have 2 options here:
> 1) Apply this backport and sometime in the future also apply the reverts of both these commits with Paolo's commit which reverts them.

Being "bug compatible" is good, I like that option :)

When is the revert patch going to hit Linus's tree? During the 4.16-rc1
merge window?
