FYI, I rebased misc to v6.12-rc5, as patches in another series had already been
taken through the tip tree.  New hashes:

[1/4] KVM: x86: Bypass register cache when querying CPL from kvm_sched_out()

...

[3/4] KVM: x86: Add lockdep-guarded asserts on register cache usage
      https://github.com/kvm-x86/linux/commit/1c932fc7620d
[4/4] KVM: x86: Use '0' for guest RIP if PMI encounters protected guest state
