Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH v6 0/7] Xen transport for 9pfs frontend driver

[Stefano Stabellini <sstabellini@xxxxxxxxxx>]

9pfs maintainers,

The patch series is fully acked, except for the header import from Xen
(http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=149020945130417&w=2) which needs to
be acked in Xen first (this is corresponding Xen series:
http://marc.info/?l=xen-devel&m=149013482308654).

Once that happens, the series is ready to go in. Are you OK with that?

If so, would you rather have the code go in via your tree or the Xen
tree?

Cheers,

Stefano
