As shown below :)

Thanks, this looks perfect to me, and if you're happy to put it on top
of your tree that would limit the breakage to a smaller history window,
so that would be ideal.

Subject: kvm: Move srcu_struct fields to end of struct kvm

Parallelizing SRCU callback handling increased the size of srcu_struct,
which moved the kvm_arch field within the kvm struct out of reach of
powerpc's current assembly code, resulting in the following sort of
build error:

arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_hv_rmhandlers.S:617: Error: operand out of range (0x000000000000b328 is not between 0xffffffffffff8000 and 0x0000000000007fff)

This commit moves the srcu_struct fields in the kvm structure to follow
the kvm_arch field, which again allows powerpc's assembly code to
reach it.
