Linus,

Please pull from the repository and branch

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/avi/kvm.git for-linus

to receive the pending kvm updates for 2.6.22.  The changes increase
the range of guests we support, improve performance, fix various bugs,
and improve the userspace interface.

Adrian Bunk (1):
      KVM: fix an if() condition

Anthony Liguori (4):
      KVM: Lazy FPU support for SVM
      KVM: VMX: Properly shadow the CR0 register in the vcpu struct
      KVM: VMX: Add lazy FPU support for VT
      KVM: SVM: Only save/restore MSRs when needed

Avi Kivity (51):
      KVM: Use own minor number

      KVM: MMU: Remove unnecessary check for pdptr access
      KVM: MMU: Remove global pte tracking
      KVM: Workaround vmx inability to virtualize the reset state
      KVM: Remove set_cr0_no_modeswitch() arch op

      KVM: Simply gfn_to_page()
      KVM: Add physical memory aliasing feature
      KVM: Add fpu get/set operations
      KVM: Use kernel-standard types
      KVM: Initialize cr0 to indicate an fpu is present
      KVM: Handle partial pae pdptr
      KVM: Use slab caches to allocate mmu data structures
      KVM: Retry sleeping allocation if atomic allocation fails
      KVM: SVM: Report hardware exit reason to userspace instead of dmesg
      KVM: Handle guest page faults when emulating mmio
      KVM: VMX: Reduce unnecessary saving of host msrs
      KVM: VMX: Don't switch 64-bit msrs for 32-bit guests
      KVM: Fold drivers/kvm/kvm_vmx.h into drivers/kvm/vmx.c
      KVM: VMX: Only save/restore MSR_K6_STAR if necessary
      KVM: Per-vcpu statistics
      KVM: Allow passing 64-bit values to the emulated read/write API
      KVM: Don't complain about cpu erratum AA15
      KVM: Remove extraneous guest entry on mmio read
      KVM: Don't require explicit indication of completion of mmio or pio
      KVM: Remove unused 'instruction_length'

Dor Laor (3):
      KVM: Fix guest register corruption on paravirt hypercall
      KVM: Use the generic skip_emulated_instruction() in hypercall code
      KVM: Add mmu cache clear function
