This of course touches two maintainers' areas.  Michael and Paolo, how
do you want to proceed here?  Can this just go through Michael's tree?
Or should I make a topic branch off Linus' tree that you can both
pull, or should I split the patch into two (i.e. everything except the
kvm_book3s_64.h change in the first patch, and the kvm_book3s_64.h
change in the second) and get Michael to put the first one in a topic
branch that I can then pull and apply the second patch onto?

This patch seems separate from the other two (I can't really tell since
there wasn't a cover letter on linuxppc-dev).

Yeah. I've merged 1/3 as a fix, and will take 2/3 into next.

Can you place it in a pull request for both Michael and myself?

Paul and I talked about this offline, he's going to create a topic
branch with this in it.

I'll hold off merging it until closer to the merge window, and I'll
merge it then if we are actually seeing conflicts between the PPC & KVM
trees caused by this.

cheers
