Yes please.  Will you just apply the patch, or do you want me to put
it in a branch for you to pull?

The patch depends on 191eccb15809 ("powerpc/pseries: Add
H_GET_CPU_CHARACTERISTICS flags & wrapper", 2018-01-09) which is in
Linus' tree as of v4.15-rc8, and I see that the kvm master branch is
at rc8, so it should apply on the master branch just fine.

Thanks,
Paul.
