Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm
Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"Fixes and features for 3.18.
Apart from the usual cleanups, here is the summary of new features:
- s390 moves closer towards host large page support
- PowerPC has improved support for debugging (both inside the guest
and via gdbstub) and support for e6500 processors
- ARM/ARM64 support read-only memory (which is necessary to put
firmware in emulated NOR flash)
- x86 has the usual emulator fixes and nested virtualization
improvements (including improved Windows support on Intel and
Jailhouse hypervisor support on AMD), adaptive PLE which helps
overcommitting of huge guests. Also included are some patches that
make KVM more friendly to memory hot-unplug, and fixes for rare
caching bugs.
Two patches have trivial mm/ parts that were acked by Rik and Andrew.
Note: I will soon switch to a subkey for signing purposes"
