Subject: [GIT PULL] KVM updates for 2.6.26-rc1

Linus, please pull from repo and branch at:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/avi/kvm.git 
kvm-updates-2.6.26

In addition to a few random fixes this update adds support for Intel 
Extended Page Tables (EPT), a feature which greatly improves 
virtualization performance on the new Nehalem processors.  The 
implementation builds on the same code paths as AMD NPT (and real-mode 
shadow) and is therefore small and safe for inclusion.

Andrea Arcangeli (1):
      KVM: avoid fx_init() schedule in atomic

Avi Kivity (2):
      KVM: x86 emulator: disable writeback on lmsw
      KVM: MMU: Allow more than PAGES_PER_HPAGE write protections per 
large page

Christian Ehrhardt (1):
      KVM: ppc: deliver INTERRUPT_FP_UNAVAIL to the guest

Glauber Costa (1):
      x86: KVM geust: make setup_secondary_clock definition dependent on 
local apic

      KVM: PIT: support mode 4

Sheng Yang (8):
      KVM: VMX: EPT Feature Detection
      KVM: MMU: Move some definitions to a header file
      KVM: Add kvm_x86_ops get_tdp_level()
      KVM: MMU: Add EPT support
      KVM: MMU: Remove #ifdef CONFIG_X86_64 to support 4 level EPT
      KVM: Export necessary function for EPT
