Hi,

I acked v6. If nothing major has changed in the patch, then the ack can be
kept for v7. If there is something that has changed that you think I should
look at, please include it in the change-log, so I can check it out.

For now, assuming no major changes:

Acked-by: Bruce Richardson <bruce.richardson at intel.com>
