I'm going to propose a pull request as of next week including this patch set, I would like to see people test their features in terms of compatibility before then and review the patch. I know from the Intel side there has been extensive testing. There has also been a sign off as regards dev and integration testing from Red Hat. I will raise this as an item at next week's community sync meeting. Would appreciate any feedback between now and then.
