So I'm just not ever going to pick up this patch; I spend a week trying
to reverse engineer this; I posted a 7 patch series creating the
equivalent, but in a gradual and readable fashion:

You keep on ignoring that; I'll keep on ignoring your patches.

I might at some point rewrite some of your pv stuff on top to get this
moving again, but I'm not really motivated to work with you atm.

Peter, I am sorry that I have focused recently on making the qspinlock patch works with virtualization and it is easier for me to based off on my patch initially. Now the PV part is almost done, I will apply them on top of your patch. Hopefully, I will get a new patch out sometime next week.

I am really sorry if you have bad feeling about it. I do not mean to discredit you on your effort to make the qspinlock patch better. I really appreciate your input and would like to work with you on this patch as well as other future patches.
