The Linux 7.2 kernel merge window has closed for KVM-related changes, and ARM64 receives no new KVM features this cycle. The KVM maintainers explicitly attribute this to an overwhelming volume of AI-generated patch submissions flooding the review queue, making it too difficult to evaluate new feature work.
