Linus has said that he will not take the kvmtool tree in its current
form, but would prefer that it be a separate project, so I should really
drop it from linux-next (and ask the tip guys to remove it from their
auto-latest branch).

I have actually been meaning to get back to this, so, today I will drop
the kvmtool tree and, Ingo, if you could (at your convenience i.e. when
you are next rebasing it) remove it from tip/auto-latest, thanks.

This does not, of course, rule out it being reinstated if Linus can be
convinced. Nor does it make a judgement on the project itself, it is
just because linux-next is meant to represent what is to be merged into
Linus' tree in the next merge window.
