The following slide would help.(Maybe you've already check it though.)

My plan is to get the patches merged for 0.14 release.
As I sent out the patches of pcie port switch today,
the major modification to the pci layer has been sent out.
They will be merged into the main tree soon, I hope.
(Or mst's pci tree at worst)

It depends on other's review how smoothly the patches will be
merged. So If you want to accelerate the merge process,
please review the patches. It will be greatly appreciated.

Once pcie stuff is done, I'll start to post q35 chipset patches.
Right now my public repo for q35 is a bit old because I'd like
to avoid unnecessary rebases.
Once the pcie stuff are merged(i.e. pci layer is stabilized),
I'll rebase it and publish it.

thanks,
