I've been meaning to provide an in-depth review of these patches, but other things have been holding me up -- my apologies. At a quick glance, a lot of your patches involve a few short patches that don't necessarily provide much context on their own. A lot of patches in this series can definitely be merged. I think moving the "qemu process" code into its own series would be helpful. I would include something in the cover that they will benefit the hypervisor CPU baseline and comparison patches. If you feel confident with your qemu process patches, then you could also send your baseline patch series at the same time, and state that your baseline patches rely on your QEMU process patches (make sure to include a mailing list archive link in that header so reviewers can easily reference the other patch series). Also, make sure you CC the authors and contributors of the respective files that you touch. Most of them are listed at the top of the file. (I think Jiri might be interested in this series as well.) So let's start there. Repost your qemu_process code as it's own series, and I'd recommend tagging it with "RFC" (Request For Comments) instead of giving it a version number. This will prompt reviewers that you're mainly looking for areas of improvement and some guidance.
