Hi Thomas,

I'm not quite sure I understood it well: are you asking us to resend
what David has already send, say me for resending the virtio part?

If so, what's the point of that? What's worse, it's likely to fail
apply (due to conflicts), as every one of us make a patch based on
the same base while touching some same files.
