Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"Much x86 work was pushed out to 5.12, but ARM more than made up for it.
ARM:
- PSCI relay at EL2 when "protected KVM" is enabled
- New exception injection code
- Simplification of AArch32 system register handling
- Fix PMU accesses when no PMU is enabled
- Expose CSV3 on non-Meltdown hosts
- Cache hierarchy discovery fixes
- PV steal-time cleanups
- Allow function pointers at EL2
- Various host EL2 entry cleanups
- Simplification of the EL2 vector allocation
s390:
- memcg accouting for s390 specific parts of kvm and gmap
- selftest for diag318
- new kvm_stat for when async_pf falls back to sync
x86:
- Tracepoints for the new pagetable code from 5.10
- Catch VFIO and KVM irqfd events before userspace
- Reporting dirty pages to userspace with a ring buffer
- SEV-ES host support
- Nested VMX support for wait-for-SIPI activity state
- New feature flag (AVX512 FP16)
- New system ioctl to report Hyper-V-compatible paravirtualization features
Generic:
- Selftest improvements"
