Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm
Pull kvm fixes from Paolo Bonzini:
 "A bit on the bigger side, mostly due to me being on vacation, then
  busy, then on parental leave, but there's nothing worrisome.

  ARM:
   - Multiple stolen time fixes, with a new capability to match x86
   - Fix for hugetlbfs mappings when PUD and PMD are the same level
   - Fix for hugetlbfs mappings when PTE mappings are enforced (dirty
     logging, for example)
   - Fix tracing output of 64bit values

  x86:
   - nSVM state restore fixes
   - Async page fault fixes
   - Lots of small fixes everywhere"
