Merge branch 'for-upstream' of git://github.com/agraf/linux-2.6 into next
Alex says:
"Changes this time include:
- Generalize KVM_GUEST support to overall ePAPR code
- Fix reset for Book3S HV
- Fix machine check deferral when CONFIG_KVM_GUEST=y
- Add support for BookE register DECAR"
* 'for-upstream' of git://github.com/agraf/linux-2.6:
KVM: PPC: Not optimizing MSR_CE and MSR_ME with paravirt.
KVM: PPC: booke: Added DECAR support
KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Make the guest hash table size configurable
KVM: PPC: Factor out guest epapr initialization
