Michael, please pull the topic branch as soon as possible, so that the
conflicts don't hit Linus.

That said, the topic branch is a mess.  It starts with generic arch
patches (until "powerpc/64: Allow for relocation-on interrupts from
guest to host") then it's only KVM, then on the top there's two more
generic patches that were added _after_ Paul merged it.

If possible, please pull only up to "powerpc/64: Allow for relocation-on
interrupts from guest to host" and cherry-pick the top two patches
("powerpc/64: CONFIG_RELOCATABLE support for hmi interrupts" and
"powerpc/powernv: Remove separate entry for OPAL real mode calls") into
your next branch, but leave the rest for my tree only.

Paolo
