Yup. I was planning to send it as part of a small "hw/arm/virt: add cpu-map" series I pretty much have ready, but didn't finish and send yet because I got distracted working on the larger plan (among other things). The motivation (larger plan) for cpu-map is full cpu-topology configuration, but working on that has led to an smp parameter rework RFC (hoping to send this week...) Wei or I can just send the virt-2.7 patch now though to get it done sooner than later. Thanks, drew
