I really don't want to take new features like this that change
existing code when I'm about to do a rc6.

I've done late hardware-enabling pulls before with new drivers etc,
but then they are meant to enable consumer hardware that people would
have trouble getting Linux installed on etc. A paravirt Hyper-V VM
install doesn't really count as that kind of "we need to get this in
quickly out of the normal development model".

I didn't check, but can you peel off that part if it's at the top and
just send me the actual bugfixes?
