Linus Torvalds 66dcff86ba 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.
 
 Right now KVM is broken for PPC BookE in your tree (doesn't compile).
 I'll reply to the pull request with a patch, please apply it either
 before the pull request or in the merge commit, in order to preserve
 bisectability somewhat.
