Hi Robert,
I actually need a series that cleanly applies to 6.18-rc4. I'll attempt to resolve the conflicts when I merge that branch to cxl/next. Of course a resolved public branch somewhere as guidance would be appreciated as well. Patches should not be based on cxl/next. Otherwise it gets really messy when I have to drop some changes due to issues.

Hmmm....maybe I should just take the entire series hopefully next cycle when it's ready given all the dependencies?
