Thanks for the reminder, Sasha!
I didn't know the very useful parameter of git-send-email. :-)
I'm going to post v5 with the parameter.

BTW, I'll split v4 into 2 patchsets.

Patchset #1 consists of the first 3 patches of v4, and should go through the
tip.git tree (I need to rebase it to the latest timers/core branch due to a conflict).

Patchset #2 consists of the remaining 9 patches and can go through the hyperv
tree.

Thanks,
