Oh, I can and will certainly test if the code breaks pr mode, but that doesn't mean it will do the right thing on HV machines :o.

Usually the ppc tree gets merged into Avi's tree and goes on from there. When we have interdependencies, we can certainly do it differently though. We can also shove them through Ben's tree this time around, as there are more dependencies on ppc code than KVM code.
