Pull KVM fixes from Paolo Bonzini:

 - fix for module unload vs deferred jump labels (note: there might be
   other buggy modules!)

   made worse during this merge window, "just" kernel memory leak on
   releases

 - fix emulation of "mov ss" - somewhat serious on AMD, less so on Intel

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
