Yes this absolutely needs more work! I think it's in pretty good shape, but it has reached the point where it needs the talented eyes of reviewers from outside of Intel. I was really hoping to get feedback from folks like Jason (Thanks Jason!!) and KVM and VFIO experts like Alex, Paolo, Eric, and Kirti. I can understand that you are quite busy and can not necessarily provide a detailed review at this phase. Would you prefer to be cc'd on code at this phase in the future? Or, should we reserve putting you on the cc for times when we know it's ready for merge?
