OK just adding:

Signed-off-by: Xuan Zhuo <xuanzhuo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Acked-by: Jason Wang <jasowang@xxxxxxxxxx>
L: virtualization@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
L: netdev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I think we can drop the original Cc list:

Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>,
Jens Axboe <axboe@xxxxxxxxx>,
James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>,
"Martin K. Petersen" <martin.petersen@xxxxxxxxxx>,
Guenter Roeck <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxx>, linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,
Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

but I'm not sure, maybe they want to be informed.
