From: Srivatsa S. Bhat (VMware) <redacted> Deep has decided to transfer maintainership of the VMware hypervisor interface to Srivatsa, and the joint-maintainership of paravirt ops in the Linux kernel to Srivatsa and Alexey. Update the MAINTAINERS file to reflect this change. Signed-off-by: Srivatsa S. Bhat (VMware) <redacted> Acked-by: Alexey Makhalov <redacted> Acked-by: Deep Shah <redacted> Acked-by: Juergen Gross <jgross@suse.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.orgWhy are MAINTAINERS updates needed for stable? That's not normal :(
So that people posting bug-fixes / backports to these subsystems for older kernels (stable and LTS releases) will CC the new subsystem maintainers. That's why I added CC stable tag only to the first two patches which add/replace maintainers and not the third patch which is just a cleanup.
