Hi Paolo,

As you said, you will queue the v3 of KVM patch, but it looks like we
are missing that part at the top of the kvm/queue tree.

For your convenience, let me resend v4 so that we can upstream this
feature in the next merged window. Also this patch series includes
patches for qemu and kvm-unit-tests. Please help review.

Thanks, I was busy with AMD stuff as you saw. :) I've queued it now.
Yes, we all know you're busy.

I will be very grateful if you could comment the KVM part for the LBR feature. :D
