Merge tag 'kvm-x86-selftests-6.11' of https://github.com/kvm-x86/linux into HEAD
KVM selftests for 6.11 - Remove dead code in the memslot modification stress test. - Treat "branch instructions retired" as supported on all AMD Family 17h+ CPUs. - Print the guest pseudo-RNG seed only when it changes, to avoid spamming the log for tests that create lots of VMs. - Make the PMU counters test less flaky when counting LLC cache misses by doing CLFLUSH{OPT} in every loop iteration.
