Hi Paolo,

This is the bulk of the 5.9 patches for KVM/arm64. It is a pretty busy
merge window for us this time, thanks to the ongoing Protected KVM
work. We have changes all over the map, but the most important piece
probably is the way we now build the EL2 code on non-VHE systems. On
top of giving us better control over what gets pulled in there, it
allowed us to enable instrumentation on VHE systems.

The rest is a mixed bag of new features (TTL TLB invalidation, Pointer
Auth on non-VHE), preliminary patches for NV, some early MMU rework
before the 5.10 onslaught, and tons of cleanups.

A few things to notice:

- We share a branch with the arm64 tree, which has gone in already.

- There are a number of known conflicts with Sean's MMU cache rework,
  as well as the late fixes that went in 5.8. The conflicts are pretty
  simple to resolve, and -next has the right resolutions already.
Ok, since I have already an x86 conflict I'll wait to pull this until
next week.

Paolo
