Hi Ville,
We looked at your patch and it looks good to fix the mmio vs mmio case
also.
We would want to incorporate that idea into our patch also.
So, should we send a second patch to address this race, on top of our
base mmio flip patch. Meaning that the second base patch will be
independent, and the second patch will be dependent on your patch. Is
this approach ok? Or should we add it into this patch only, which will
be built on top of your patch?
