that should go in right now. Actually, I'd already consider it too late
even if we agreed now; I would expect a change like this to get at least
two weeks in linux-next before the merge window.

Usually linux-next is about sorting out integration problems so we
have an orderly merge window. Nobody is going to test this code just
because it is in linux-next, it isn't mm or something with coverage
there.

Yes, if qemu becomes deployed, but our testing shows qemu support
needs a lot of work before it is deployable, so that doesn't seem to
be an immediate risk.

Do you have any patches/problem reports you can share?

Yishai has some stuff, he was doing failure injection testing and
other interesting things. I think we are hoping to start looking at
it.

If you already identified that there is work to be done in QEMU, I think
that speaks even more for delaying this. What if we notice that uapi
changes are needed while fixing QEMU?

I don't think it is those kinds of bugs.
