Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm
Pull second batch of KVM changes from Paolo Bonzini:
"This mostly includes the PPC changes for 4.1, which this time cover
Book3S HV only (debugging aids, minor performance improvements and
some cleanups). But there are also bug fixes and small cleanups for
ARM, x86 and s390.
The task_migration_notifier revert and real fix is still pending
review, but I'll send it as soon as possible after -rc1"
