Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm
Pull KVM changes from Paolo Bonzini: "Here are the 3.13 KVM changes. There was a lot of work on the PPC side: the HV and emulation flavors can now coexist in a single kernel is probably the most interesting change from a user point of view. On the x86 side there are nested virtualization improvements and a few bugfixes. ARM got transparent huge page support, improved overcommit, and support for big endian guests. Finally, there is a new interface to connect KVM with VFIO. This helps with devices that use NoSnoop PCI transactions, letting the driver in the guest execute WBINVD instructions. This includes some nVidia cards on Windows, that fail to start without these patches and the corresponding userspace changes" * tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm: (146 commits) kvm, vmx: Fix lazy FPU on nested guest arm/arm64: KVM: PSCI: propagate caller endianness to the incoming vcpu arm/arm64: KVM: MMIO support for BE guest kvm, cpuid: Fix sparse warning kvm: Delete prototype for non-existent function kvm_check_iopl kvm: Delete prototype for non-existent function complete_pio hung_task: add method to reset detector pvclock: detect watchdog reset at pvclock read kvm: optimize out smp_mb after srcu_read_unlock srcu: API for barrier after srcu read unlock KVM: remove vm mmap method KVM: IOMMU: hva align mapping page size KVM: x86: trace cpuid emulation when called from emulator KVM: emulator: cleanup decode_register_operand() a bit KVM: emulator: check rex prefix inside decode_register() KVM: x86: fix emulation of "movzbl %bpl, %eax" kvm_host: typo fix KVM: x86: emulate SAHF instruction MAINTAINERS: add tree for kvm.git Documentation/kvm: add a 00-INDEX file ...

+ This is not as fast as using hypervisor mode, but works on
