At least one major distribution (Fedora) is planning to ship 2.6.21 in its next release, and it would be a shame not to give them the stable API they have come not to expect, especially as they will support it in their GUI management tools. I plan two or three other changes over the next few days, and then devote the rest of 2.6.21 to working out kinks. Not that I expect many -- the changes are fairly simple. The last change would be adding a forwards and backwards compatible feature availability interface so we can extend it later. The patchset, along with the previous fixset, is available as a git tree from git://kvm.qumranet.com/home/avi/kvm/linux-2.6. You may wish to plant it in your little git forest.
