Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm
Pull KVM update from Paolo Bonzini:
"3.19 changes for KVM:
- spring cleaning: removed support for IA64, and for hardware-
assisted virtualization on the PPC970
- ARM, PPC, s390 all had only small fixes
For x86:
- small performance improvements (though only on weird guests)
- usual round of hardware-compliancy fixes from Nadav
- APICv fixes
- XSAVES support for hosts and guests. XSAVES hosts were broken
because the (non-KVM) XSAVES patches inadvertently changed the KVM
userspace ABI whenever XSAVES was enabled; hence, this part is
going to stable. Guest support is just a matter of exposing the
feature and CPUID leaves support"
