For x86 this brings in PCID emulation and CR3 caching for shadow page
tables, nested VMX live migration, nested VMCS shadowing, an optimized
IPI hypercall, and some optimizations.
ARM will come next week.
There is a semantic conflict because tip also added an .init_platform
callback to kvm.c. Please keep the initializer from this branch,
and add a call to kvmclock_init (added by tip) inside kvm_init_platform
(added here).
Also, there is a backmerge from 4.18-rc6. This is because of a
refactoring that conflicted with a relatively late bugfix and
resulted in a particularly hellish conflict. Because the conflict
was only due to unfortunate timing of the bugfix, I backmerged and
rebased the refactoring rather than force the resolution on you.
