One more: This pull contains the intial bits of the gvt device model
(essentially paravirt for intel gpus for kvm&xen). We've decided to
run this as a subproject with pull requests from Zhenyu to Jani& me
for now for a few reasons:
- it's a big codebase, separate team and lots (probably most) of
interactions out i915/drm (kvm/xen, qemu in userspace and all that).
Seems to make sense to run it separately
- there's also differences in CI&testing overall. I think running gvt
as an integrated part of drm-intel with the commit model would have
caused fun with accidentally pushing broken patches.
- and personally I'm also interesting in figuring out whether the
committer model also works when mixed with submaintainers, in case we
ever need that for scalability in areas.

Some hiccups, (there was an almost immediate 2nd pull with pile of
bugfixes), but we're working them out. I expect all smooth sailing by
the time the 4.10 merge windo opens.

Cheers, Daniel
