I'm afraid it isn't going to happen - going through the review comments there's some ambiguities there (at least to me) that I can't solve without input from the reviewers. I haven't even managed to get half way through the patches yet.
Possible to share the link of the specific review comments and the patches you are referring to here?
I'm preferring to the comments on the RFC v2 posting on the 13th September by James. I think you already provided a link.

IICRC, you mentioned that this patch-set was ready for submission?
BTW, which comments in specific in above link are you referring to?
I've pushed out an updated version to the CGIT URL I gave earlier. Essentially, the commits that have my sign-off have been updated, those which don't have my sign-off are outstanding.
Ok.
Also, I am preparing RFC V3 for Qemu changes. Is it safe to use that repository for testing? Or should I keep on using RFC V2 patch-set for testing which James floated in September?
It would be good to test the patches even though I haven't been through all the review comments. They have been updated against v6.6-rc6 which incorporates my change, and testing against it will help to gain confidence in the updates made so far.
No issues. I will test will your repository as well then.
Thanks Salil.
