KVM/arm64, take #3

Guys,

I've once more updated the branches for KVM/arm64

- kvm-arm/pre-arm64: kvm-arm-master as of today + the "cleanup" branch + some basic perf support

- arm64/soc-armv8-model: Catalin Marinas' arm64 branch

- arm64/psci: Implementation of PSCI for the above

- arm64/perf: host/guest discrimination

- kvm-arm64/kvm-prereq: a bunch of random bits that KVM/arm requires to compile on arm64.

- kvm-arm64/kvm-prereq-merged: all the above, plus Mark Rutland's timer rework.

- kvm-arm64/kvm: KVM/arm64 itself, and the only branch you should use unless you're completely hatstand.

All that is at:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/maz/arm-platforms.git

You'll also need Will Deacon's KVM Tool port:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/will/kvmtool.git kvmtool/arm

A few random notes:
- If you're using the Foundation Model, use the provided DTS for your host kernel (arch/arm64/boot/dts/foundation-v8.dts).
- The only supported models are the AEMv8 and the Foundation models. If you're using something else and have any issue, first reproduce it with one of the supported implementations.

What's new:
- Rebased on 3.8-rc4
- Resynced with kvm-arm-master
- More 32bit fixes (ThumbEE, check for lack of 32bit support in HW)
- Some basic perf support

Enjoy,

	M.

Seems to be booting well enough for me. Are you sure you used the supplied DT (as mentioned in the below email)?

There is no need for a platforms directory any more. The vexpress support is now just a configuration option.

Cheers,
