Ok, my queue is a bit large so I'll probably not push to git.kernel.org 
until next week but in any case this is what it will look like:

Radim Krčmář (5):
      KVM: add kvm_arch_sched_in
      KVM: x86: introduce sched_in to kvm_x86_ops
      KVM: VMX: make PLE window per-VCPU  <<< ple_window_dirty squashed here
      KVM: VMX: dynamise PLE window
      KVM: trace kvm_ple_window grow/shrink
