[PATCH 0/9] KVM: Flush out my patch queue

[Avi Kivity]

This patchset is mostly fallout from the mmu stuff that I've neglected 
to integrate with the main patchset sent yesterday.  It includes a 
fashionable missing dirty bit fix, and other fixes and cleanups.

-- 
Do not meddle in the internals of kernels, for they are subtle and quick to panic.
