    Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini:
     "For x86, there is a new alternative and (in the future) more scalable
      implementation of extended page tables that does not need a reverse
      map from guest physical addresses to host physical addresses.
    
      For now it is disabled by default because it is still lacking a few of
      the existing MMU's bells and whistles. However it is a very solid
      piece of work and it is already available for people to hammer on it.
    
      Other updates:
    
      ARM:
       - New page table code for both hypervisor and guest stage-2
       - Introduction of a new EL2-private host context
       - Allow EL2 to have its own private per-CPU variables
       - Support of PMU event filtering
       - Complete rework of the Spectre mitigation
    
      PPC:
       - Fix for running nested guests with in-kernel IRQ chip
       - Fix race condition causing occasional host hard lockup
       - Minor cleanups and bugfixes
    
      x86:
       - allow trapping unknown MSRs to userspace
       - allow userspace to force #GP on specific MSRs
       - INVPCID support on AMD
       - nested AMD cleanup, on demand allocation of nested SVM state
       - hide PV MSRs and hypercalls for features not enabled in CPUID
       - new test for MSR_IA32_TSC writes from host and guest
       - cleanups: MMU, CPUID, shared MSRs
       - LAPIC latency optimizations ad bugfixes"
