Linus, please pull from the repo and branch at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/avi/kvm.git for-linus
to receive the 2.6.24 episode of KVM. Highlights include in-kernel
pic/lapic/ioapic emulation, improved guest support, preemptibility,
an improved x86 emulator, and a fair amount of cleanup.
The changes outside drivers/kvm/ and include/linux/kvm*.h fix the CR8 mask
definition (which is not otherwise used in the kernel) and expose some
ioapic register definitions even if ioapic support is not compiled in. The
diff is appended below.
