At this point, I'm not going to get a pull request to Paolo before the normal merge window. I was hoping/planning to get some early pull requests to Paolo this cycle so y'all could build on kvm/next directly, but that didn't happen. > Are we planning for both PPC pre-enablement series of yours and this one to > be taken for v7.4 merge? Do you think this can go in too? I'd like to get at least a subset of this series in for 7.4. If I'm reading things correctly, all of the hacky changes I don't like are for the kvm_create_max_vcpus_test and hardware_disable_test. And as called out in the final patch, "fixes" for PPC really should be ordered so that they land *before* the tests are enabled. Actually, better idea. Limit patch 1 to just TEST_GEN_PROGS_COMMON, then for the addon tests, bundle the "fix" with the PPC enablement. AFAICT, except for the kvm_create_max_vcpus changes, they're all pretty small, i.e. bundling the PPC support with the "fix" shouldn't be too painful, and then we don't have to worry about ordering. As for kvm_create_max_vcpus and hardware_disable_test, drop them from the initial enablement so we can get the core support landed, and tackle them as separate series post-7.4. As for actually landing this, the easiest thing at this point would probably be for me to grab the patches in a dedicated topic branch that's based off the kvm-x86/selftests branch at an appropriate point in time. Alternatively, I could provide a stable tag and someone else could grab the patches, but other than it being a little weird taking PPC changes through kvm-x86, that's by far the easiest approach since I'll be sending Paolo pull requests anyways and can explain the dependencies and whatnot. TL;DR: what if you post a slightly trimmed-down v6 and I take it through kvm-x86?
