Pull kvm fixes from Paolo Bonzini:
"ARM:
- Fix the PMCR_EL0 reset value after the PMU rework
- Correctly handle S2 fault triggered by a S1 page table walk by not
always classifying it as a write, as this breaks on R/O memslots
- Document why we cannot exit with KVM_EXIT_MMIO when taking a write
fault from a S1 PTW on a R/O memslot
- Put the Apple M2 on the naughty list for not being able to
correctly implement the vgic SEIS feature, just like the M1 before
it
- Reviewer updates: Alex is stepping down, replaced by Zenghui
x86:
- Fix various rare locking issues in Xen emulation and teach lockdep
to detect them
- Documentation improvements
- Do not return host topology information from KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID"
