Cover letter [PATCH 0/2] Fixes for HV KVM on PPC for 3.14

These two patches fix two things in hypervisor-mode KVM for the IBM POWER server processors. The first patch removes a hunk of extraneous code that got in as a result of a mistake I made in cleaning up after rebasing a patch. The second fixes a bug that causes host memory corruption. Both patches fix things that cause host crashes, so I'd like them in 3.14 if possible. The two patches only touch one file, arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_hv_rmhandlers.S, so they can't possibly cause any problems for other architectures or other PPC platforms.

The patches are against the master branch of the kvm tree but should apply equally on Linus' current master branch.

Scott, please ack.

Paolo, I meant to get these out earlier, but a personal emergency arose this week and delayed me.

Thanks,
Paul.
