Ah, sorry -- I assume you mean Paolo's kvm/next? I tried now and see
some conflicts with the ioctl patch.

Why don't I rebase on top of kvm/next along with these couple of changes
from Pierre and send this as a v10 for you to queue.

While at it, there's one other issue to be aware of -- There will also
be small merge conflicts with a patch that just hit vfio-next, "vfio:
de-extern-ify function prototypes" - My series already avoids adding
externs to new prototypes, but adjacent code changes will cause a
conflict with patches 10 and 17.

Not sure what the best way to proceed there is.
