Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm

Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "First round of KVM updates for 3.14; PPC parts will come next week.

  Nothing major here, just bugfixes all over the place.  The most
  interesting part is the ARM guys' virtualized interrupt controller
  overhaul, which lets userspace get/set the state and thus enables
  migration of ARM VMs"
