kvm-32 contains an important silent data corruption fix, as well as a number of minor fixes and updates.

Changes since kvm-31:
- fix oops with the slub allocator (CONFIG_SLUB)
- fix cmov instruction emulation, trashed by the mmio rmw fix
- fix rare, silent data corruption on writes that cross a page boundary and touch a page table (Aurelien Jarno, me)
- fix race between vm creation and vcpu hotunplug (Rusty Russell)
- fix guest turning on pae with invalid pdptres (Rusty Russell)
- adapt external module to changed kmem_cache_create() api
- allow external module on 2.6.22 i386 nonpae
- fix regression in network throughput caused by guest smp changes (Aurelien Jarno, me)
- live migration updates (Uri Lublin)
- minor cleanups (Nguyen Anh Quynh, me)

Notes:
If you use the modules from kvm-32, you can use any version of Linux
from 2.6.9 upwards.
If you use the modules from Linux 2.6.20, you need to use kvm-12. If you use the modules from Linux 2.6.21, you need to use kvm-17. Modules from Linux 2.6.22 and up will work with any kvm version from
kvm-22. Some features may only be available in newer releases.
