Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm
Pull kvm changes from Paolo Bonzini: "Remove from guest code the handling of task migration during a pvclock read; instead use the correct protocol in KVM. This removes the need for task migration notifiers in core scheduler code" [ The scheduler people really hated the migration notifiers, so this was kind of required - Linus ] * tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm: x86: pvclock: Really remove the sched notifier for cross-cpu migrations kvm: x86: fix kvmclock update protocol
