In theory these patches look OK since you'd have to be an s390 KVM <br>
expert to understand the changes. I'd really like to see simple <br>
explanations for the backports in the future. Just a short explanation <br>
of how conflicts were resolved would be nice.<br>
<br>
There are no test results in the bug report. I just have to assume this <br>
pile works, 'cause I guess its going to be your problem if it doesn't.<br>
