+Changelog[v4]
+	Comments from Michael Neuling:
+	- Move VAS code from drivers/misc/vas to arch/powerpc/platforms/powernv
+	  since VAS only provides interfaces to other drivers like NX-842.
+	- Drop vas-internal.h and use vas.h in separate dirs for VAS
+	  internal, kernel API and user API
+	- Rather than create 6 separate device tree properties windows
+	  and window context, combine them into 6 "reg" properties.
+	- Drop vas_window_reset() since windows are reset/cleared before
+	  being assigned to kernel/users.
+	- Use ilog2() and radix_enabled() helpers
+
+Changelog[v3]
+	- Rebase to v4.11-rc1
+	- Add interfaces to initialize send/receive window attributes to
+	  defaults that drivers can use (see arch/powerpc/include/asm/vas.h)
+	- Modify interface vas_paste() to return 0 or error code
+	- Fix a bug in setting Translation Control Mode (0b11 not 0x11)
+	- Enable send-window-credit checking 
+	- Reorg code  in vas_win_close()
+	- Minor reorgs and tweaks to register field settings to make it
+	  easier to add support for user space windows.
+	- Skip writing to read-only registers
+	- Start window indexing from 0 rather than 1
+
 Changelog[v2]
 	- Use vas-id, HVWC, UWC and paste address, entries from device tree
 	  rather than defining/computing them in kernel and reorg code.
