Michael and Paolo, how do you want to proceed here? Can this just go through Michael's tree? Or should I make a topic branch off Linus' tree that you can both pull, or should I split the patch into two (i.e. everything except the kvm_book3s_64.h change in the first patch, and the kvm_book3s_64.h change in the second) and get Michael to put the first one in a topic branch that I can then pull and apply the second patch onto?
