Paolo Bonzini 86014c1e20 KVM generic changes for 6.11
- Enable halt poll shrinking by default, as Intel found it to be a clear win.
 
  - Setup empty IRQ routing when creating a VM to avoid having to synchronize
    SRCU when creating a split IRQCHIP on x86.
 
  - Rework the sched_in/out() paths to replace kvm_arch_sched_in() with a flag
    that arch code can use for hooking both sched_in() and sched_out().
 
  - Take the vCPU @id as an "unsigned long" instead of "u32" to avoid
    truncating a bogus value from userspace, e.g. to help userspace detect bugs.
 
  - Mark a vCPU as preempted if and only if it's scheduled out while in the
    KVM_RUN loop, e.g. to avoid marking it preempted and thus writing guest
    memory when retrieving guest state during live migration blackout.
 
  - A few minor cleanups

README

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

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

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.
