Linus Torvalds e4e65676f2 Fixes and features for 3.18.
Apart from the usual cleanups, here is the summary of new features:
 
 - s390 moves closer towards host large page support
 
 - PowerPC has improved support for debugging (both inside the guest and
   via gdbstub) and support for e6500 processors
 
 - ARM/ARM64 support read-only memory (which is necessary to put firmware
   in emulated NOR flash)
 
 - x86 has the usual emulator fixes and nested virtualization improvements
   (including improved Windows support on Intel and Jailhouse hypervisor
   support on AMD), adaptive PLE which helps overcommitting of huge guests.
   Also included are some patches that make KVM more friendly to memory
   hot-unplug, and fixes for rare caching bugs.
 
 Two patches have trivial mm/ parts that were acked by Rik and Andrew.
 
 Note: I will soon switch to a subkey for signing purposes.  To verify
 future signed pull requests from me, please update my key with
 "gpg --recv-keys 9B4D86F2".  You should see 3 new subkeys---the
 one for signing will be a 2048-bit RSA key, 4E6B09D7.
