I've dropped the SRAO patch; this still leaves ~100 changed lines, but they are almost all due to the erratum 383 workaround, which can result in a guest killing the host. The rest of the patches are less critical, but they are one liners and I am comfortable with them in -rc3. The new diffstat also shows no changes to core code: arch/ia64/kvm/kvm-ia64.c | 1 + arch/powerpc/kvm/e500.c | 2 +- arch/x86/include/asm/msr-index.h | 1 + arch/x86/kvm/mmu.c | 5 ++ arch/x86/kvm/svm.c | 96 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- virt/kvm/ioapic.c | 3 +- virt/kvm/iommu.c | 2 +- 7 files changed, 106 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) -- I have a truly marvellous patch that fixes the bug which this signature is too narrow to contain.
