kvm updates for 2.6.22

Following is my current 2.6.22 kvm queue. It contains userspace interface updates, improved guest support, cleanups, and plain bugfixes. It will likely grow slightly by the time the merge window opens.

Avi Kivity (34):
KVM: Use own minor number
KVM: Export <linux/kvm.h>
KVM: Fix bogus sign extension in mmu mapping audit
KVM: Use a shared page for kernel/user communication when runing a vcpu
KVM: Do not communicate to userspace through cpu registers during PIO
KVM: Handle cpuid in the kernel instead of punting to userspace
KVM: Remove the 'emulated' field from the userspace interface
KVM: Remove minor wart from KVM_CREATE_VCPU ioctl
KVM: Renumber ioctls
KVM: Add method to check for backwards-compatible API extensions
KVM: Allow userspace to process hypercalls which have no kernel handler
KVM: Fold kvm_run::exit_type into kvm_run::exit_reason
KVM: Add a special exit reason when exiting due to an interrupt
KVM: Initialize the apic_base msr on svm too
KVM: Add guest mode signal mask
KVM: Allow kernel to select size of mmap() buffer
KVM: Future-proof argument-less ioctls
KVM: Avoid guest virtual addresses in string pio userspace interface
KVM: MMU: Remove unnecessary check for pdptr access
KVM: MMU: Remove global pte tracking
KVM: Workaround vmx inability to virtualize the reset state
KVM: Remove set_cr0_no_modeswitch() arch op
KVM: Modify guest segments after potentially switching modes
KVM: Hack real-mode segments on vmx from KVM_SET_SREGS
KVM: Don't allow the guest to turn off the cpu cache
KVM: Remove unused and write-only variables
KVM: MMU: Fix hugepage pdes mapping same physical address with different access
KVM: SVM: Ensure timestamp counter monotonicity
KVM: Use list_move()
KVM: Remove debug message
KVM: x86 emulator: fix bit string operations operand size
KVM: Simply gfn_to_page()
KVM: Add physical memory aliasing feature
KVM: Add fpu get/set operations

Dor Laor (3):
KVM: Fix guest register corruption on paravirt hypercall
KVM: Use the generic skip_emulated_instruction() in hypercall code
KVM: Add mmu cache clear function

Joerg Roedel (2):
KVM: SVM: forbid guest to execute monitor/mwait
KVM: SVM: enable LBRV virtualization if available

Michal Piotrowski (1):
KVM: Remove unused function

Sergey Kiselev (1):
KVM: Handle writes to MCG_STATUS msr
