Pull KVM changes from Avi Kivity:
"Changes include additional instruction emulation, page-crossing MMIO,
faster dirty logging, preventing the watchdog from killing a stopped
guest, module autoload, a new MSI ABI, and some minor optimizations
and fixes. Outside x86 we have a small s390 and a very large ppc
update.
Regarding the new (for kvm) rebaseless workflow, some of the patches
that were merged before we switch trees had to be rebased, while
others are true pulls. In either case the signoffs should be correct
now."
Fix up trivial conflicts in Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt
arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_segment.S and arch/x86/include/asm/kvm_para.h.
I suspect the kvm_para.h resolution ends up doing the "do I have cpuid"
check effectively twice (it was done differently in two different
commits), but better safe than sorry ;)

Add two optimisations to enable_kernel_altivec:
- enable_kernel_altivec has already determined if we need to
save the previous task's state but we call giveup_altivec
in both cases, requiring an extra branch in giveup_altivec. Create
giveup_altivec_notask which only turns on the VMX bit in the
MSR.
- We write the VMX MSR bit each time we call enable_kernel_altivec
even it was already set. Check the bit and branch out if we have
already set it. The classic case for this is vectored IO
where we have to copy multiple buffers to or from userspace.
The following testcase was used to confirm this patch improves
performance:
http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/copy_to_user.c
Since the current breakpoint for using VMX in copy_tofrom_user is
4096 bytes, I'm using buffers of 4096 + 1 cacheline (4224) bytes.
A benchmark of 16 entry readvs (-s 16):
time copy_to_user -l 4224 -s 16 -i 1000000
completes 5.2% faster on a POWER7 PS700.

Use an empty inline instead of an empty function to implement
giveup_altivec on book3e CPUs, similar to flush_altivec_to_thread.
