 One of the largest releases for KVM...  Hardly any generic improvement,
 but lots of architecture-specific changes.
 
 * ARM:
 - VHE support so that we can run the kernel at EL2 on ARMv8.1 systems
 - PMU support for guests
 - 32bit world switch rewritten in C
 - various optimizations to the vgic save/restore code.
 
 * PPC:
 - enabled KVM-VFIO integration ("VFIO device")
 - optimizations to speed up IPIs between vcpus
 - in-kernel handling of IOMMU hypercalls
 - support for dynamic DMA windows (DDW).
 
 * s390:
 - provide the floating point registers via sync regs;
 - separated instruction vs. data accesses
 - dirty log improvements for huge guests
 - bugfixes and documentation improvements.
 
 * x86:
 - Hyper-V VMBus hypercall userspace exit
 - alternative implementation of lowest-priority interrupts using vector
 hashing (for better VT-d posted interrupt support)
 - fixed guest debugging with nested virtualizations
 - improved interrupt tracking in the in-kernel IOAPIC
 - generic infrastructure for tracking writes to guest memory---currently
 its only use is to speedup the legacy shadow paging (pre-EPT) case, but
 in the future it will be used for virtual GPUs as well
 - much cleanup (LAPIC, kvmclock, MMU, PIT), including ubsan fixes.
