Sure, and more will follow.  I'd expect the merge involves rewriting
large parts of the code anyway, especially the hvm bits due to the
nessesary interface cleanups in qemu, but also because the code must
pass the review process before it can be merged.  Pretty much like
upstreaming the xen support into the linux kernel.  All that also needs
testing, no doubt.

cheers,
  Gerd
