This is a large change for vfio and it is not exclusive to KVMGT. We have linux-next to facilitate handling dependencies between subsystems during development and a two week merge window to allow managing how these changes enter the mainline tree. If I were to have this pulled into drm-intel it ties my hands as to how I can manage changes within my functional area. I want these two weeks of linux-next exposure for vetting the changes and resolving any remaining issues. I'm not going to compromise my ability to react to such issues. linux-next inclusion should be sufficient for you to coordinate through the drm tree, though Daniel will need to be made aware of the dependency. I will however plan to send my pull request to Linus early in the merge window to accommodate dependent changes also being included for v4.10. Hope you understand, thanks, Alex
