Subject: linux-next: build failure after merge of the vhost tree

Hi Michael,

After merging the vhost tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc allyesconfig)
failed like this:

Caused by commit 89bfc4cdb438 ("cpuidle: kvm cpuidle").

Given that the commit message for this commit includes "Very much a
demo for now, downstream only." it should *not* be in linux-next.  It
should especially not have turned up at this point (just before the
merge window).  I also wonder about some of the other commits in that
tree :-(

I have reverted that commit for today.
