Patch 1, 3-20:

Acked-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@xxxxxxxxxx>
Reviewed-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@xxxxxxxxxx>

In your 5.4 pull requests, it's best if you add a note that all RISC-V
KVM patches were acked and reviewed by me.  I'll also include a shoutout
about RISC-V KVM in my own pull request.

However, for Linux releases after 5.4 I would rather get pull requests
for arch/riscv/kvm from Anup and Atish without involving the RISC-V
tree.  Of course, they or I will ask for your ack, or for a topic
branch, on the occasion that something touches files outside their
maintainership area.  This is how things are already being handled for
ARM, POWER and s390 and it allows me to handle conflicts in common KVM
files before they reach Linus; these are more common than conflicts in
arch files.  If you have further questions on git and maintenance
workflows, just ask!
