ACK/CMNT: [SRU][kinetic/linux-kvm][PATCH 0/1] UBUNTU: [Config] kvm: Add support for dummy net driver

[Luke Nowakowski-Krijger]

Looks good to me, in the future if the coverletter and content is very
similar you could send both patches for kinetic and jammy under the same
patchset and just change the tags in the header to
[kinetic:linux-kvm/jammy:linux-kvm] so that we know the patches apply to
both (where the denotation is series:kernel and '/' is used to show
different places where it is applied). I think I forgot to mention that in
Jose's original patch.

But yea, the less emails the better ;)
