Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm
Pull second batch of KVM changes from Paolo Bonzini: "This mostly includes the PPC changes for 4.1, which this time cover Book3S HV only (debugging aids, minor performance improvements and some cleanups). But there are also bug fixes and small cleanups for ARM, x86 and s390. The task_migration_notifier revert and real fix is still pending review, but I'll send it as soon as possible after -rc1" * tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm: (29 commits) KVM: arm/arm64: check IRQ number on userland injection KVM: arm: irqfd: fix value returned by kvm_irq_map_gsi KVM: VMX: Preserve host CR4.MCE value while in guest mode.

+8. Other capabilities.
+----------------------
+
+This section lists capabilities that give information about other
+features of the KVM implementation.
+
+8.1 KVM_CAP_PPC_HWRNG
+
+Architectures: ppc
+
+This capability, if KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION indicates that it is
+available, means that that the kernel has an implementation of the
+H_RANDOM hypercall backed by a hardware random-number generator.
+If present, the kernel H_RANDOM handler can be enabled for guest use
+with the KVM_CAP_PPC_ENABLE_HCALL capability.
