Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm

Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "s390:
   - implement diag318

  x86:
   - Report last CPU for debugging
   - Emulate smaller MAXPHYADDR in the guest than in the host
   - .noinstr and tracing fixes from Thomas
   - nested SVM page table switching optimization and fixes

  Generic:
   - Unify shadow MMU cache data structures across architectures"
