Quite big with CET and the FRED preparations, but no surprises indeed.

Because of the conflict, I'll delay the bulk of these to a separate
pull request, probably on Friday.

I have already included (and tested on top of 6.17) the selftests,
guest and generic pull request. Everything else in kvm/next. As I
mentioned in the reply to the individual PR, I ended up cherry-picking
the module patches. There were a couple preparatory patches that I
guess could have been in misc, but certainly nothing worth another
round trip to the west coast...

Thanks again for your help with kvm-x86.
