You need the couple of patches I posted recently, which Paolo Bonzini
is hopefully going to get to Linus before 3.14 is released, and which
are in the "next" branch of the kvm tree:

KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Remove bogus duplicate code
KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Fix register usage when loading/saving VRSAVE

as well as the series that you have in your "le" branch and Alex has
in his "kvm-ppc-queue" branch:

PPC: KVM: introduce helper to check RESUME_GUEST and related
PPC: KVM: fix VCPU run for HV KVM (v2)
PPC: KVM: fix RESUME_GUEST check before ending CEDE in kvmppc_run_core()
PPC: KVM: fix RESUME_GUEST check before returning from kvmppc_run_core()
