While the fix is mainly for paravirt, 2/3 of the patches exclusively
touch arch/x86, so I think they should go up in the x86 tree (as
opposed to paravirt's), if you would be so kind.  hpa mentioned not
handling merges in https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/6/14/903, so I reached
out to you and tglx.

(Also, this is the first series I've ever sent (as opposed to one off
commits), so I'm unfamiliar with the protocol for merging series that
may be touch more than one subsystem.  I assume we don't split up
series to take parts in one tree vs another?)
