Hi Avi,

There are a few bugs in 3.4 that really should be fixed before people can
be all happy and fuzzy about KVM on PowerPC. These fixes are:

   * fix POWER7 bare metal with PR=y
   * fix deadlock on HV=y book3s_64 mode in low memory cases
   * fix invalid MMU scope of PR=y mode on book3s_64, possibly
     leading to memory corruption

This request and the patches are based on top of Linus's master branch. Please
either send these to Linus to get them into 3.4.0 or to linux-stable if it's too
late already.

Alexander Graf (3):
       KVM: PPC: Book3S: PR: Handle EMUL_ASSIST
       KVM: PPC: Fix PR KVM on POWER7 bare metal

This one is already in 'next', which means it's queued for 3.5.  While
it won't bring about the end of the universe, please try to avoid this
in the future by selecting the right branch to push into in advance
(that's one of the consequences of the new workflow).

Hm. I figured that there's a pretty high chance that the patches won't make it for 3.4.0, so they'd have to go into 3.4-stable, which then again means it's a lot easier to see which ones are still outstanding there. I still maintain a -next queue in parallel where patches destined for 3.5 go into.

Which workflow would you prefer if not the one above?
