Linus Torvalds 15303ba5d1 KVM changes for 4.16
ARM:
 - Include icache invalidation optimizations, improving VM startup time
 
 - Support for forwarded level-triggered interrupts, improving
   performance for timers and passthrough platform devices
 
 - A small fix for power-management notifiers, and some cosmetic changes
 
 PPC:
 - Add MMIO emulation for vector loads and stores
 
 - Allow HPT guests to run on a radix host on POWER9 v2.2 CPUs without
   requiring the complex thread synchronization of older CPU versions
 
 - Improve the handling of escalation interrupts with the XIVE interrupt
   controller
 
 - Support decrement register migration
 
 - Various cleanups and bugfixes.
 
 s390:
 - Cornelia Huck passed maintainership to Janosch Frank
 
 - Exitless interrupts for emulated devices
 
 - Cleanup of cpuflag handling
 
 - kvm_stat counter improvements
 
 - VSIE improvements
 
 - mm cleanup
 
 x86:
 - Hypervisor part of SEV
 
 - UMIP, RDPID, and MSR_SMI_COUNT emulation
 
 - Paravirtualized TLB shootdown using the new KVM_VCPU_PREEMPTED bit
 
 - Allow guests to see TOPOEXT, GFNI, VAES, VPCLMULQDQ, and more AVX512
   features
 
 - Show vcpu id in its anonymous inode name
 
 - Many fixes and cleanups
 
 - Per-VCPU MSR bitmaps (already merged through x86/pti branch)
 
 - Stable KVM clock when nesting on Hyper-V (merged through x86/hyperv)
