Subject: Re: [PATCH v3 0/2] KVM: SVM: Create separate vmcbs for L1 and L2

That would be the master branch of 
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm.git where the last commit was 
969df928fee43b4219646a57c7beaccccf2c0635

I was originally working off of the queue branch but there were issues 
with the prior commits passing the various tests.
