Pull kvm fixes from Paolo Bonzini:
 "Unless anything comes from the ARM side, this should be the last pull
  request for this release - and it's mostly documentation:

   - Document the interaction between KVM_CAP_HALT_POLL and halt_poll_ns

   - s390: fix multi-epoch extension in nested guests

   - x86: fix uninitialized variable on nested triple fault"

This capability overrides the kvm module parameter halt_poll_ns for the
target VM.
VCPU polling allows a VCPU to poll for wakeup events instead of immediately
scheduling during guest halts. The maximum time a VCPU can spend polling is
controlled by the kvm module parameter halt_poll_ns. This capability allows
the maximum halt time to specified on a per-VM basis, effectively overriding
the module parameter for the target VM.
KVM_CAP_HALT_POLL overrides the kvm.halt_poll_ns module parameter to set the
maximum halt-polling time for all vCPUs in the target VM. This capability can
be invoked at any time and any number of times to dynamically change the
maximum halt-polling time.
See Documentation/virt/kvm/halt-polling.rst for more information on halt
polling.

Note: that these module parameters are system wide values and are not able to
be tuned on a per vm basis.
Any changes to these parameters will be picked up by new and existing vCPUs the
next time they halt, with the notable exception of VMs using KVM_CAP_HALT_POLL
(see next section).
KVM_CAP_HALT_POLL
=================
KVM_CAP_HALT_POLL is a VM capability that allows userspace to override halt_poll_ns
on a per-VM basis. VMs using KVM_CAP_HALT_POLL ignore halt_poll_ns completely (but
still obey halt_poll_ns_grow, halt_poll_ns_grow_start, and halt_poll_ns_shrink).
See Documentation/virt/kvm/api.rst for more information on this capability.
