The way I've done this in the past is to get acks from PPC maintainers, and then push the patches through Avi. If a "generic" PPC patch is required by a KVM patch, pushing them through different trees would leave KVM broken for weeks until it all ends up merged in Linus's tree. Despite Ben's newfound interest in KVM, I don't see a good reason to change this model. :) -- Hollis Blanchard IBM Linux Technology Center -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm-ppc" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
