Compared to the review it's missing this hunk:
@@ -265,7 +265,7 @@ void kvm_gfn_to_pfn_cache_unmap(struct kvm *kvm, struct gfn_to_pfn_cache *gpc)

         gpc->valid = false;

-       old_khva = gpc->khva;
+       old_khva = (void *)((unsigned long)gpc->khva & ~PAGE_MASK);
         old_dirty = gpc->dirty;
Do you know what? I couldn't bring myself to add that a second time. I
managed it once, but it made me sad.

Did it like this instead:

-       old_khva = gpc->khva;
+       old_khva = gpc->khva - offset_in_page(gpc->khva);
Very nice, and it would have deserved a macro in include/linux if there 
wasn't a decent way to write it.
I checked that for me at least, GCC is clever enough to just do the
mask.

         old_khva = gpc->khva - offset_in_page(gpc->khva);

I still don't see the previous patches in kvm/next — is that an
automatic push after testing has passed, or is the kernel.org
infrastructure just *really* slow?
No, it's me really wanting to send out the -rc5 pull request before the 
weekend.  Just wait five more minutes.

I've pushed based on the currently-visible kvm/next to
https://git.infradead.org/users/dwmw2/linux.git/shortlog/refs/heads/xen-evtchn
and can resend when the tree finally surfaces.
