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 ;)

* 'next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm: (125 commits)
  KVM: make asm-generic/kvm_para.h have an ifdef __KERNEL__ block
  KVM: s390: onereg for timer related registers
  KVM: s390: epoch difference and TOD programmable field
  KVM: s390: KVM_GET/SET_ONEREG for s390
  KVM: s390: add capability indicating COW support
  KVM: Fix mmu_reload() clash with nested vmx event injection
  KVM: MMU: Don't use RCU for lockless shadow walking
  KVM: VMX: Optimize %ds, %es reload
  KVM: VMX: Fix %ds/%es clobber
  KVM: x86 emulator: convert bsf/bsr instructions to emulate_2op_SrcV_nobyte()
  KVM: VMX: unlike vmcs on fail path
  KVM: PPC: Emulator: clean up SPR reads and writes
  KVM: PPC: Emulator: clean up instruction parsing
  kvm/powerpc: Add new ioctl to retreive server MMU infos
  kvm/book3s: Make kernel emulated H_PUT_TCE available for "PR" KVM
  KVM: PPC: bookehv: Fix r8/r13 storing in level exception handler
  KVM: PPC: Book3S: Enable IRQs during exit handling
  KVM: PPC: Fix PR KVM on POWER7 bare metal
  KVM: PPC: Fix stbux emulation
  KVM: PPC: bookehv: Use lwz/stw instead of PPC_LL/PPC_STL for 32-bit fields

Pull fpu state cleanups from Ingo Molnar:
 "This tree streamlines further aspects of FPU handling by eliminating
  the prepare_to_copy() complication and moving that logic to
  arch_dup_task_struct().

  It also fixes the FPU dumps in threaded core dumps, removes and old
  (and now invalid) assumption plus micro-optimizes the exit path by
  avoiding an FPU save for dead tasks."

Fixed up trivial add-add conflict in arch/sh/kernel/process.c that came
in because we now do the FPU handling in arch_dup_task_struct() rather
than the legacy (and now gone) prepare_to_copy().

* 'x86-fpu-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
  x86, fpu: drop the fpu state during thread exit
  x86, xsave: remove thread_has_fpu() bug check in __sanitize_i387_state()
  coredump: ensure the fpu state is flushed for proper multi-threaded core dump

The current __swp_type() function uses a too small bitshift.
Using more than one swap files causes bad pages because
the type bits clash with other page flags.

UML uses the _PAGE_NEWPAGE flag to mark pages which are not jet
installed on the host side using mmap().
pte_same() has to ignore this flag, otherwise unuse_pte_range()
is unable to unuse the page because two identical
page tables entries with different _PAGE_NEWPAGE flags would not
match and swapoff() would never return.

Historical prepare_to_copy() is mostly a no-op, duplicated for majority of
the architectures and the rest following the x86 model of flushing the extended
register state like fpu there.

Remove it and use the arch_dup_task_struct() instead.
