It's getting into shape, but it has a slight shortage of reviews. For
now, it's an all-Intel patch even though I _thought_ AMD had this
feature too. It's also purely for KVM and has some suggested-by's from
Sean, but no KVM acks on it.

Sean is not exactly the quiet type about things, but it always warms me
heart to see an acked-by accompanying a suggested-by because it
indicates that the suggestion was heard and implemented properly.
