Merge branch 'next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm
Pull KVM changes from Avi Kivity:
"Changes include additional instruction emulation, page-crossing MMIO,
faster dirty logging, preventing the watchdog from killing a stopped
guest, module autoload, a new MSI ABI, and some minor optimizations
and fixes. Outside x86 we have a small s390 and a very large ppc
update.
Regarding the new (for kvm) rebaseless workflow, some of the patches
that were merged before we switch trees had to be rebased, while
others are true pulls. In either case the signoffs should be correct
now."
Fix up trivial conflicts in Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt
arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_segment.S and arch/x86/include/asm/kvm_para.h.
I suspect the kvm_para.h resolution ends up doing the "do I have cpuid"
check effectively twice (it was done differently in two different
commits), but better safe than sorry ;)
