Hi Pavel, It's only been a week and we're approaching the merge window. Both Marc and I are well aware that you sent this patch. Please be more patient. For example, if a month or more passes without you hearing anything, then it's ok to ask what the plans are. -Christoffer On Wed, Aug 19,

One off question: Hot vertical scaling of a KVM?
