That patchset was definitely moving in the right direction, but
if you look at the review comments on the RFCv3 you'll see that
there were still some things that needed to be addressed and
I don't think Pavel has sent out a v4.

For your purposes you should start with Pavel's patch 1 in that series:
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/534434/
and will need to make the changes I suggested in the code review of it.
Patches 2 and 3 you can ignore (since they're related to KVM).
We'll want some variant on patch 4 at some point for
state save/restore, but that also I had suggested changes for:
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/534439/
We can tackle that patch later, though.
