Subject: Re: [PATCH v6 0/3] virtio-spec: Add documentation for recently added balloon features


So it has been almost a month since I submitted this and there hasn't
been any feedback. I'm wondering if this is ready for acceptance. If
so what are the next steps to getting this accepted into the virtio
spec?

Thanks.
