Ugh.  The two virtio_pci patches should be squashed together.  I'll do
that for v5, but I'm not going to send it until there's more feedback.

FWIW, I'm collecting this stuff here:

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/luto/linux.git/log/?h=virtio_dma

That branch includes this series (with the squash) and the s390
patches.  I'll keep it up to date, since it seems silly to declare it
stable enough to stop rebasing yet.
