Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm
Pull first batch of KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"The bulk of the changes here is for x86. And for once it's not for
silicon that no one owns: these are really new features for everyone.
Details:
- ARM:
several features are in progress but missed the 4.2 deadline.
So here is just a smattering of bug fixes, plus enabling the
VFIO integration.
- s390:
Some fixes/refactorings/optimizations, plus support for 2GB
pages.
- x86:
* host and guest support for marking kvmclock as a stable
scheduler clock.
* support for write combining.
* support for system management mode, needed for secure boot in
guests.
* a bunch of cleanups required for the above
* support for virtualized performance counters on AMD
* legacy PCI device assignment is deprecated and defaults to "n"
in Kconfig; VFIO replaces it
On top of this there are also bug fixes and eager FPU context
loading for FPU-heavy guests.
- Common code:
Support for multiple address spaces; for now it is used only for
x86 SMM but the s390 folks also have plans"
* tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm: (124 commits)
