It looks like mimecast shot the first patch (which I sent in place of
Maxime, because this series should go through the main repo).

Looking at the mail source, I see:

X-Mimecast-Impersonation-Protect: Policy=CLT - Impersonation
Protection Definition;Similar Internal Domain=false;Similar Monitored
External Domain=false;Custom External Domain=false;Mimecast External
Domain=false;Newly Observed Domain=false;Internal User
Name=false;Custom Display Name List=false;Reply-to Address
Mismatch=false;Targeted Threat Dictionary=false;Mimecast Threat
Dictionary=false;Custom Threat Dictionary=false

I don't know how to understand this...
But as a result, the series is missing this patch in patchwork.
Patch 1 is still available from RFC v1:
https://patchwork.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/patch/20220328121758.26632-2-david.marchand@redhat.com/
or via next-virtio.
