Hi Paolo, Alex, and other maintainers,
Since this series contain multiple subsystems, IOMMU, irq, x86, VFIO, KVM, etc.
I am wondering how you guys handled this case before? If all the patches are
reviewed and acked by the associated maintainer, are you only merge the patches
related to your own subsystem to your tree? However, you may also need get other
patches to make the build successful, so I am a little curious about how you guys
handle this? Thanks a lot!
Thanks,
Feng
