Hi,

hopefully the final version of the new VGIC series.
Again mostly smaller fixes: A new patch (8/57) to establish the
arch timer <-> VGIC connection later in the init process, to avoid
calls to VGIC code before the VGIC is actually initialized.
Also we now make sure that no VCPU is running while userland accesses
the VGIC registers. The set-active-bit code has been slightly adjusted
to cover a corner case as well. Last, but not least we now properly
annotate our lock nesting so the kernel is happy now even with
CONFIG_SPINLOCK_DEBUG enabled.
More detailed changelog in the patches.

As this new VGIC emulation will probably become the default very shortly,
please test it full steam on whatever setup you have access to.
Any reports are warmly welcome.

As v4, this series is based on kvmarm/next, which will be merged
shortly into Linus' kernel.
A git tree containing this series can be found on linux-arm.org:

git://linux-arm.org/linux-ap.git	branch: vgic-new/v5
http://www.linux-arm.org/git?p=linux-ap.git;a=log;h=refs/heads/vgic-new/v5

Applied, huge thanks for all this work to all participants!
