Subject: [PATCH 0/3] KVM: x86: legacy NMI watchdog fixes

Until v2.6.37, Linux used NMI watchdog that utilized IO-APIC and LVT0.
This series fixes some problems with APICv, restore, and concurrency
while keeping the monster asleep.


Radim Krčmář (3):
  KVM: x86: keep track of LVT0 changes under APICv
  KVM: x86: properly restore LVT0
  KVM: x86: make vapics_in_nmi_mode atomic
