Does "landing" mean having it sit in some topic branch, or pushing to Linus?
I'm all for getting these hellish dependency chains out of the way, but
we usually try pretty hard to avoid having dead/unreachable code in
mainline.
If it is something you want to do in mainline, we should probably do a
bit of cross-x86/kvm brainstorming to make sure there's no other option.
