Linus Torvalds 0d1e8b8d2b KVM updates for v4.20
ARM:
  - Improved guest IPA space support (32 to 52 bits)
 
  - RAS event delivery for 32bit
 
  - PMU fixes
 
  - Guest entry hardening
 
  - Various cleanups
 
  - Port of dirty_log_test selftest
 
 PPC:
  - Nested HV KVM support for radix guests on POWER9.  The performance is
    much better than with PR KVM.  Migration and arbitrary level of
    nesting is supported.
 
  - Disable nested HV-KVM on early POWER9 chips that need a particular hardware
    bug workaround
 
  - One VM per core mode to prevent potential data leaks
 
  - PCI pass-through optimization
 
  - merge ppc-kvm topic branch and kvm-ppc-fixes to get a better base
 
 s390:
  - Initial version of AP crypto virtualization via vfio-mdev
 
  - Improvement for vfio-ap
 
  - Set the host program identifier
 
  - Optimize page table locking
 
 x86:
  - Enable nested virtualization by default
 
  - Implement Hyper-V IPI hypercalls
 
  - Improve #PF and #DB handling
 
  - Allow guests to use Enlightened VMCS
 
  - Add migration selftests for VMCS and Enlightened VMCS
 
  - Allow coalesced PIO accesses
 
  - Add an option to perform nested VMCS host state consistency check
    through hardware
 
  - Automatic tuning of lapic_timer_advance_ns
 
  - Many fixes, minor improvements, and cleanups
