 Fairly small update, but there are some interesting new features.
 
 Common: Optional support for adding a small amount of polling on each HLT
 instruction executed in the guest (or equivalent for other architectures).
 This can improve latency up to 50% on some scenarios (e.g. O_DSYNC writes
 or TCP_RR netperf tests).  This also has to be enabled manually for now,
 but the plan is to auto-tune this in the future.
 
 ARM/ARM64: the highlights are support for GICv3 emulation and dirty page
 tracking
 
 s390: several optimizations and bugfixes.  Also a first: a feature
 exposed by KVM (UUID and long guest name in /proc/sysinfo) before
 it is available in IBM's hypervisor! :)
 
 MIPS: Bugfixes.
 
 x86: Support for PML (page modification logging, a new feature in
 Broadwell Xeons that speeds up dirty page tracking), nested virtualization
 improvements (nested APICv---a nice optimization), usual round of emulation
 fixes.  There is also a new option to reduce latency of the TSC deadline
 timer in the guest; this needs to be tuned manually.
 
 Some commits are common between this pull and Catalin's; I see you
 have already included his tree.
 
 ARM has other conflicts where functions are added in the same place
 by 3.19-rc and 3.20 patches.  These are not large though, and entirely
 within KVM.

     Nothing yet.

     The KVM/PPC changes will come in through the PPC maintainers,
     because I haven't received them yet and I might end up being
     offline for some part of next week"
