Thanks. Considering they touch both KVM and kexec, which tree would be best way to get them in? (Avi: the patches were sent only to kexec and kvm mailing lists, initially. If it's better to submit them to your address also so it gets on your queue, please let me know) -- Eduardo -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
