Merge tag 'kvm-4.13-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm
Pull more KVM updates from Radim Krčmář:
"Second batch of KVM updates for v4.13
Common:
- add uevents for VM creation/destruction
- annotate and properly access RCU-protected objects
s390:
- rename IOCTL added in the first v4.13 merge
x86:
- emulate VMLOAD VMSAVE feature in SVM
- support paravirtual asynchronous page fault while nested
- add Hyper-V userspace interfaces for better migration
- improve master clock corner cases
- extend internal error reporting after EPT misconfig
- correct single-stepping of emulated instructions in SVM
- handle MCE during VM entry
- fix nVMX VM entry checks and nVMX VMCS shadowing"
