Hi Jani,

Thanks for your feedback and sorry for any inconvenience caused.

I was trying to follow the good patch practices outlined in the link
below and used the get_maintainer.pl script to identify who to send the
patches to. I am sorry but I have no idea of who-is-who within intel and
who would be the best person or list to contact. Also intel-gvt-dev is a
members-only list.

Regarding your second point, I believe the title of this patch is pretty
clear. Dead code is _dead_ and thus by definition not a functional
change or bug fix. There was nothing in my email to indicate this is an
'urgent fix to some hair rising jaw dropping bug'. I am not sure what is
the source of confusion?

Thanks
Christos.
