v2:
- ARM_SMCCC_HV_PV_TIME_FEATURES now also returns SMCCC_RET_NOT_SUPPORTED

  - Added READ_ONCE() for the run_delay read
  - Reworked kvm_put/get_guest to not require type as a parameter
  - Added some more text to the documentation for KVM_CAP_STEAL_TIME
  - Enough changed that I didn't pick up Steven's r-b's


The first four patches in the series are fixes that come from testing
and reviewing pvtime code while writing the QEMU support[*]. The last
patch is only a convenience for userspace, and I wouldn't be heartbroken
if it wasn't deemed worth it. The QEMU patches are currently written
without the cap. However, if the cap is accepted, then I'll change the
QEMU code to use it.

Thanks,

Hi Marc,

Gentle ping. I'd like to to switch the QEMU code to using the proposed
KVM cap, if the cap is accepted.

I'm fine with it. To be honest, this series is mostly fixes, except
for that last patch.

Paolo, are you OK with me sending the whole thing as fixes, including
the UAPI patch? At least we'd have something consistent for 5.9.

Thanks,

        M.
