Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm
Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"ARM:
- HYP mode stub supports kexec/kdump on 32-bit
- improved PMU support
- virtual interrupt controller performance improvements
- support for userspace virtual interrupt controller (slower, but
necessary for KVM on the weird Broadcom SoCs used by the Raspberry
Pi 3)
MIPS:
- basic support for hardware virtualization (ImgTec P5600/P6600/I6400
and Cavium Octeon III)
PPC:
- in-kernel acceleration for VFIO
s390:
- support for guests without storage keys
- adapter interruption suppression
x86:
- usual range of nVMX improvements, notably nested EPT support for
accessed and dirty bits
- emulation of CPL3 CPUID faulting
generic:
- first part of VCPU thread request API
- kvm_stat improvements"
