Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm
Pull first set of KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"PPC:
- minor code cleanups
x86:
- PCID emulation and CR3 caching for shadow page tables
- nested VMX live migration
- nested VMCS shadowing
- optimized IPI hypercall
- some optimizations
ARM will come next week"
