Wow is it that time already, it feels like the tree only just opened up
again. I guess that's the ever forward march of progress.

So from my point of view w.r.t to MTTCG I'm under no illusions about it
being ready for the 2.7 window. In fact I think our current aim is to
have the pieces in place so that we can hammer out the final details or
merging at KVM Forum. However it would be good to get pre-cursor work
merged in this window, QHT being the main thing which has had a number
of rounds of review so far. We'll also review the current MTTCG patch
sets to see what is ready and not directly tied to MTTCG to be brought
forward for merging this window (a bunch of the TCG clean-ups have
already gone in thanks to Sergey).

Do you collect a list of baking features likely to go in or is it just a
case of "patches have been on list by now"?
