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
