Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "ARM:
   - VHE optimizations

   - EL2 address space randomization

   - speculative execution mitigations ("variant 3a", aka execution past
     invalid privilege register access)

   - bugfixes and cleanups

  PPC:
   - improvements for the radix page fault handler for HV KVM on POWER9

  s390:
   - more kvm stat counters

   - virtio gpu plumbing

   - documentation

   - facilities improvements

  x86:
   - support for VMware magic I/O port and pseudo-PMCs

   - AMD pause loop exiting

   - support for AMD core performance extensions

   - support for synchronous register access

   - expose nVMX capabilities to userspace

   - support for Hyper-V signaling via eventfd

   - use Enlightened VMCS when running on Hyper-V

   - allow userspace to disable MWAIT/HLT/PAUSE vmexits

   - usual roundup of optimizations and nested virtualization bugfixes

  Generic:
   - API selftest infrastructure (though the only tests are for x86 as
     of now)"
