Re: [PATCH v8 00/10] acpi: Error Record Serialization Table, ERST, support for QEMU

[Ani Sinha <ani@anisinha.ca>]

So I do not see all the patches in the series for v8. Just so you know,
when you spin out a new version, please do send all the patches in the
series again, including the ones that might have been already reviewed.
