Merge tag 'kvm-arm-for-v4.12-round2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvmarm/kvmarm into HEAD
Second round of KVM/ARM Changes for v4.12.
Changes include:
- A fix related to the 32-bit idmap stub
- A fix to the bitmask used to deode the operands of an AArch32 CP
instruction
- We have moved the files shared between arch/arm/kvm and
arch/arm64/kvm to virt/kvm/arm
- We add support for saving/restoring the virtual ITS state to
userspace
