Oh yes.  However,

Can someone please confirm whether this is the only vpci-related patch
that ought to be on my radar for 4.16 ?

2. I have not had a reply to my question on Wednesday in
<24953.34635.645112.279110@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>:

  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 need this information to decide whether a release-ack is
appropriate.

Note that we are in code freeze so all patches, including bugfixes,
need my ack.

Thanks,
Ian.
