Subject: [GIT PULL] KVM fixes for 3.4-rc7


Linus, please pull from:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm.git master

To receive urgent KVM PPC updates, quoting Alexander Graf:

There are a few bugs in 3.4 that really should be fixed before people can
be all happy and fuzzy about KVM on PowerPC. These fixes are:

  * fix POWER7 bare metal with PR=y
  * fix deadlock on HV=y book3s_64 mode in low memory cases
  * fix invalid MMU scope of PR=y mode on book3s_64, possibly
    leading to memory corruption
