Add AMD back to the embargoed-hardware-issues.rst list.  There was
confusion about a recent issue that ended up being due to third-party's
misrepresentation, not AMD, so add AMD back to the list to get notified
properly as they understand the proper procedures to follow.

There are a few empty entries in the company/project list, which
confuses people as to why they are there, so remove them entirely, and
also remove an entry that doesn't wish to participate in this process.

The kernel security team does NOT assign CVEs, so document that properly
and provide the "if you want one, ask MITRE for it" response that we
give on a weekly basis in the document, so we don't have to constantly
say it to everyone who asks.

Because the linux-distros group forces reporters to release information
about reported bugs, and they impose arbitrary deadlines in having those
bugs fixed despite not actually being kernel developers, the kernel
security team recommends not interacting with them at all as this just
causes confusion and the early-release of reported security problems.

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "ARM64:

   - Eager page splitting optimization for dirty logging, optionally
     allowing for a VM to avoid the cost of hugepage splitting in the
     stage-2 fault path.

   - Arm FF-A proxy for pKVM, allowing a pKVM host to safely interact
     with services that live in the Secure world. pKVM intervenes on
     FF-A calls to guarantee the host doesn't misuse memory donated to
     the hyp or a pKVM guest.

   - Support for running the split hypervisor with VHE enabled, known as
     'hVHE' mode. This is extremely useful for testing the split
     hypervisor on VHE-only systems, and paves the way for new use cases
     that depend on having two TTBRs available at EL2.

   - Generalized framework for configurable ID registers from userspace.
     KVM/arm64 currently prevents arbitrary CPU feature set
     configuration from userspace, but the intent is to relax this
     limitation and allow userspace to select a feature set consistent
     with the CPU.

   - Enable the use of Branch Target Identification (FEAT_BTI) in the
     hypervisor.

   - Use a separate set of pointer authentication keys for the
     hypervisor when running in protected mode, as the host is untrusted
     at runtime.

   - Ensure timer IRQs are consistently released in the init failure
     paths.

   - Avoid trapping CTR_EL0 on systems with Enhanced Virtualization
     Traps (FEAT_EVT), as it is a register commonly read from userspace.

   - Erratum workaround for the upcoming AmpereOne part, which has
     broken hardware A/D state management.

  RISC-V:

   - Redirect AMO load/store misaligned traps to KVM guest

   - Trap-n-emulate AIA in-kernel irqchip for KVM guest

   - Svnapot support for KVM Guest

  s390:

   - New uvdevice secret API

   - CMM selftest and fixes

   - fix racy access to target CPU for diag 9c

  x86:

   - Fix missing/incorrect #GP checks on ENCLS

   - Use standard mmu_notifier hooks for handling APIC access page

   - Drop now unnecessary TR/TSS load after VM-Exit on AMD

   - Print more descriptive information about the status of SEV and
     SEV-ES during module load

   - Add a test for splitting and reconstituting hugepages during and
     after dirty logging

   - Add support for CPU pinning in demand paging test

   - Add support for AMD PerfMonV2, with a variety of cleanups and minor
     fixes included along the way

   - Add a "nx_huge_pages=never" option to effectively avoid creating NX
     hugepage recovery threads (because nx_huge_pages=off can be toggled
     at runtime)

   - Move handling of PAT out of MTRR code and dedup SVM+VMX code

   - Fix output of PIC poll command emulation when there's an interrupt

   - Add a maintainer's handbook to document KVM x86 processes,
     preferred coding style, testing expectations, etc.

   - Misc cleanups, fixes and comments

  Generic:

   - Miscellaneous bugfixes and cleanups

  Selftests:

   - Generate dependency files so that partial rebuilds work as
     expected"

Having "how to submit patches" in MAINTAINTERS seems out of place.
We have a whole section of documentation about it, duplication
is harmful and a lot of the text looks really out of date.

Sections 1, 2 and 4 look really, really old and not applicable
to the modern process.

Section 3 is obvious but also we have build bots now.

Section 5 is a bit outdated (diff -u?!). But I like the part
about factoring out shared code, so add that to process docs.

Section 6 is unnecessary?

Section 7 is covered by more appropriate docs.
