Linus Torvalds 8c1b724ddb ARM:
* GICv4.1 support
 * 32bit host removal
 
 PPC:
 * secure (encrypted) using under the Protected Execution Framework
 ultravisor
 
 s390:
 * allow disabling GISA (hardware interrupt injection) and protected
 VMs/ultravisor support.
 
 x86:
 * New dirty bitmap flag that sets all bits in the bitmap when dirty
 page logging is enabled; this is faster because it doesn't require bulk
 modification of the page tables.
 * Initial work on making nested SVM event injection more similar to VMX,
 and less buggy.
 * Various cleanups to MMU code (though the big ones and related
 optimizations were delayed to 5.8).  Instead of using cr3 in function
 names which occasionally means eptp, KVM too has standardized on "pgd".
 * A large refactoring of CPUID features, which now use an array that
 parallels the core x86_features.
 * Some removal of pointer chasing from kvm_x86_ops, which will also be
 switched to static calls as soon as they are available.
 * New Tigerlake CPUID features.
 * More bugfixes, optimizations and cleanups.
 
 Generic:
 * selftests: cleanups, new MMU notifier stress test, steal-time test
 * CSV output for kvm_stat.
 
 KVM/MIPS has been broken since 5.5, it does not compile due to a patch committed
 by MIPS maintainers.  I had already prepared a fix, but the MIPS maintainers
 prefer to fix it in generic code rather than KVM so they are taking care of it.
