Merge branch 'next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm

Pull KVM updates from Gleb Natapov:
 "The highlights of the release are nested EPT and pv-ticketlocks
  support (hypervisor part, guest part, which is most of the code, goes
  through tip tree).  Apart of that there are many fixes for all arches"

Fix up semantic conflicts as discussed in the pull request thread..

 shared page that contains parts of supervisor visible register state.
 The guest can map this shared page to access its supervisor register through
 memory using this hypercall.

+5. KVM_HC_KICK_CPU
+------------------------
+Architecture: x86
+Status: active
+Purpose: Hypercall used to wakeup a vcpu from HLT state
+Usage example : A vcpu of a paravirtualized guest that is busywaiting in guest
+kernel mode for an event to occur (ex: a spinlock to become available) can
+execute HLT instruction once it has busy-waited for more than a threshold
+time-interval. Execution of HLT instruction would cause the hypervisor to put
+the vcpu to sleep until occurence of an appropriate event. Another vcpu of the
+same guest can wakeup the sleeping vcpu by issuing KVM_HC_KICK_CPU hypercall,
+specifying APIC ID (a1) of the vcpu to be woken up. An additional argument (a0)
+is used in the hypercall for future use.
