Thanks!

There's no such thing as Hyper-V tree, patches are usually getting
merged through 'tip' tree when the majority of changes go to arch/x86 or
Greg's char-misc tree when changes are drivers/hv heavy (+ net, scsi,
pci, hid, ... trees for individual drivers).

In this particular case the series is x86-heavy and I believe it should
go through x86 'tip' tree.

Thomas, Ingo, Peter, could you please take a look? Thanks!
