Just checking: were you going to send the following to Linus for 2.6.40?
virtio:event_index_interface.patch
virtio:ring_inline_function_to_check_for_events.patch
virtio:ring_support_event_idx_feature.patch
misc:vhost_support_event_index.patch
virtio:test_support_event_index.patch
virtio:add_api_for_delayed_callbacks.patch
virtio:net_delay_tx_callbacks.patch

I certainly hope so as these modify both host and guest which makes
testing them out of tree hard for people.
Once stuff lands on Linus' tree we can patch
qemu and get more people to try out the patches.

Also, Linus said it's going to be a short window so ...

Yes.  They've been in linux-next since the weekend (ie. today will be the
third linux-next build), and my plan was to push them Friday.

Nothing goes into linux-next which is not for Linus until after Linus
closes the merge window.

I also want to find a few cycles to adapt lguest; it's *always* good to
have a second implementation.

Cheers,
Rusty.

Couldn't find any pull requests at lkml, and I read the window will
likely close May 29.  Did you end up not sending it, or did I miss it?

Pls ignore, problem at my end.
Thanks, and sorry about the noise.
