Linus Torvalds 62c4d9afa4 Features:
* Performance improvement to lower the amount of traps the hypervisor
    has to do 32-bit guests. Mainly for setting PTE entries and updating
    TLS descriptors.
  * MCE polling driver to collect hypervisor MCE buffer and present them to
    /dev/mcelog.
  * Physical CPU online/offline support. When an privileged guest is booted
    it is present with virtual CPUs, which might have an 1:1 to physical
    CPUs but usually don't. This provides mechanism to offline/online physical
    CPUs.
 Bug-fixes for:
  * Coverity found fixes in the console and ACPI processor driver.
  * PVonHVM kexec fixes along with some cleanups.
  * Pages that fall within E820 gaps and non-RAM regions (and had been
    released to hypervisor) would be populated back, but potentially in
    non-RAM regions.
