Hello :-).

Um, can you explain what the practical impact is of not taking this
patch for 4.16 ?  As I understand it vpci for ARM is non-functional in
4.16 and this is not expected to change ?  So there would be no
benefit to users, and taking the patch would add small but nonzero
risk ?

I think according to the freeze policy I set this can go in if the
maintainers feel it is a "straightforward bugfix", but provided it
goes in by the end of this coming Friday.

After that it will need a release-ack and right now, unless I am
mistaken (which may well be the case) it can just as well wait ?

Thanks,
Ian.
