Lockdep has only started warning since I added code to take the vcpu mutexes in the XIVE device release functions, but since Documentation/virtual/kvm/locking.txt specifies that the vcpu mutexes nest inside kvm->lock, it seems that the new code is correct and it is most of the old uses of kvm->lock that are wrong. This series should fix the problems, by adding new mutexes that nest inside the vcpu mutexes and using them instead of kvm->lock. Paul.
