Here's a massage pull request for the static_call() changes, just in case you
want to go this route instead of applying patches directly after merging
everything else for 6.11 (it was easy to generate this).  If you want to go the
patches route, I'll post 'em next week.

The following changes since commit c1c8a908a5f4c372f8a8dca0501b56ffc8d260fe:

   Merge branch 'vmx' (2024-06-28 22:22:53 +0000)

   KVM: x86/pmu: Add kvm_pmu_call() to simplify static calls of kvm_pmu_ops (2024-06-28 15:23:49 -0700)

Thanks, indeed there was no straggler static_call() after applying
this.  However, there might be a problem: static_call_cond() is equal
to static_call() only if CONFIG_HAVE_STATIC_CALL_INLINE, and arch/x86
has this:

        select HAVE_STATIC_CALL_INLINE          if HAVE_OBJTOOL
        select HAVE_OBJTOOL                     if X86_64

And indeed if I apply

diff --git a/arch/x86/kvm/Kconfig b/arch/x86/kvm/Kconfig
index 80e5afde69f4..d20159d4a37a 100644

KVM disappears from 32-bit kernels. :)  So I haven't checked but I
suspect this breaks 32-bit?
