Oh yes. However,

Can someone please confirm whether this is the only vpci-related patch
that ought to be on my radar for 4.16 ?
2. I have not had a reply to my question on Wednesday in
<24953.34635.645112.279...@mariner.uk.xensource.com>:
Um, can you explain what the practical impact is of not taking this
patch for 4.16 ? As I understand it vpci for ARM is non-functional in
4.16 and this is not expected to change ? So there would be no
benefit to users, and taking the patch would add small but nonzero
risk ?
I need this information to decide whether a release-ack is
appropriate.
Note that we are in code freeze so all patches, including bugfixes,
need my ack.
Thanks,
Ian.
