Pull KVM update from Paolo Bonzini:
 "Fairly small update, but there are some interesting new features.

  Common:
     Optional support for adding a small amount of polling on each HLT
     instruction executed in the guest (or equivalent for other
     architectures).  This can improve latency up to 50% on some
     scenarios (e.g. O_DSYNC writes or TCP_RR netperf tests).  This
     also has to be enabled manually for now, but the plan is to
     auto-tune this in the future.

  ARM/ARM64:
     The highlights are support for GICv3 emulation and dirty page
     tracking

  s390:
     Several optimizations and bugfixes.  Also a first: a feature
     exposed by KVM (UUID and long guest name in /proc/sysinfo) before
     it is available in IBM's hypervisor! :)

  MIPS:
     Bugfixes.

  x86:
     Support for PML (page modification logging, a new feature in
     Broadwell Xeons that speeds up dirty page tracking), nested
     virtualization improvements (nested APICv---a nice optimization),
     usual round of emulation fixes.

     There is also a new option to reduce latency of the TSC deadline
     timer in the guest; this needs to be tuned manually.

     Some commits are common between this pull and Catalin's; I see you
     have already included his tree.

  Powerpc:
     Nothing yet.

     The KVM/PPC changes will come in through the PPC maintainers,
     because I haven't received them yet and I might end up being
     offline for some part of next week"

<title>KVM: arm/arm64: vgic: add init entry to VGIC KVM device</title>

<id>065c0034823b513d3ca95760a2ad1765e3ef629c</id>
<content type='text'>
Since the advent of VGIC dynamic initialization, this latter is
initialized quite late on the first vcpu run or "on-demand", when
injecting an IRQ or when the guest sets its registers.

This initialization could be initiated explicitly much earlier
by the users-space, as soon as it has provided the requested
dimensioning parameters.

This patch adds a new entry to the VGIC KVM device that allows
the user to manually request the VGIC init:
- a new KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_GRP_CTRL group is introduced.
- Its first attribute is KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_CTRL_INIT

The rationale behind introducing a group is to be able to add other
controls later on, if needed.

<content type='text'>
In order to make the number of interrupts configurable, use the new
fancy device management API to add KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_GRP_NR_IRQS as
a VGIC configurable attribute.

Userspace can now specify the exact size of the GIC (by increments
of 32 interrupts).

When userspace loads code and data in a read-only memory regions, KVM
needs to be able to handle this on arm and arm64.  Specifically this is
used when running code directly from a read-only flash device; the
common scenario is a UEFI blob loaded with the -bios option in QEMU.

Note that the MMIO exit on writes to a read-only memory is ABI and can
be used to emulate block-erase style flash devices.
