Linus Torvalds d8312a3f61 ARM:
- VHE optimizations
 - EL2 address space randomization
 - speculative execution mitigations ("variant 3a", aka execution past invalid
 privilege register access)
 - bugfixes and cleanups
 
 PPC:
 - improvements for the radix page fault handler for HV KVM on POWER9
 
 s390:
 - more kvm stat counters
 - virtio gpu plumbing
 - documentation
 - facilities improvements
 
 x86:
 - support for VMware magic I/O port and pseudo-PMCs
 - AMD pause loop exiting
 - support for AMD core performance extensions
 - support for synchronous register access
 - expose nVMX capabilities to userspace
 - support for Hyper-V signaling via eventfd
 - use Enlightened VMCS when running on Hyper-V
 - allow userspace to disable MWAIT/HLT/PAUSE vmexits
 - usual roundup of optimizations and nested virtualization bugfixes
 
 Generic:
 - API selftest infrastructure (though the only tests are for x86 as of now)
