Paolo, Radim,

This is the bulk of the KVM/arm changes for 4.20. This time, the
biggest change by far is the support for variable addressing range in
guests, allowing userspace to size arm64 VMs from 32 to 52bits instead
of the hard-coded 40bits we've enjoyed so far. Other than that, we
have a random selection of small fixes and cleanups.

Note that this will generate a few minor conflicts with the arm64 tree,
which should be resolved as per this branch[1].
That's a bit annoying.  KVM parts of "Support Common Not Private
translations" should not have gone through the arm64 tree.  Instead,
Catalin should have placed the first patches in a topic branch for you
to pull.

This minimizes the effort for everyone else, basically.  Conflicts need
to be sorted out by Stephen Rothwell, myself and Linus/Greg, while topic
branches just work.

If it weren't for the include/uapi/linux/kvm.h change, where I have to
sort the capability numbers as they are assigned by the various
architecture maintainers(*), I would have told you to just send the pull
request to Catalin this time through (but that would just be a band-aid,
it should not be the norm).  Anyway, just remember this next time.

Thanks,

Paolo
