Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm
Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "ARM:
   - GICv4.1 support

   - 32bit host removal

  PPC:
   - secure (encrypted) using under the Protected Execution Framework
     ultravisor

  s390:
   - allow disabling GISA (hardware interrupt injection) and protected
     VMs/ultravisor support.

  x86:
   - New dirty bitmap flag that sets all bits in the bitmap when dirty
     page logging is enabled; this is faster because it doesn't require
     bulk modification of the page tables.

   - Initial work on making nested SVM event injection more similar to
     VMX, and less buggy.

   - Various cleanups to MMU code (though the big ones and related
     optimizations were delayed to 5.8). Instead of using cr3 in
     function names which occasionally means eptp, KVM too has
     standardized on "pgd".

   - A large refactoring of CPUID features, which now use an array that
     parallels the core x86_features.

   - Some removal of pointer chasing from kvm_x86_ops, which will also
     be switched to static calls as soon as they are available.

   - New Tigerlake CPUID features.

   - More bugfixes, optimizations and cleanups.

  Generic:
   - selftests: cleanups, new MMU notifier stress test, steal-time test

   - CSV output for kvm_stat"
