- Support for forwarded level-triggered interrupts, improving
performance for timers and passthrough platform devices
- A small fix for power-management notifiers, and some cosmetic changes
PPC:
- Add MMIO emulation for vector loads and stores
- Allow HPT guests to run on a radix host on POWER9 v2.2 CPUs without
requiring the complex thread synchronization of older CPU versions
- Improve the handling of escalation interrupts with the XIVE interrupt
controller
- Support decrement register migration
- Various cleanups and bugfixes.
s390:

- UMIP, RDPID, and MSR_SMI_COUNT emulation
- Paravirtualized TLB shootdown using the new KVM_VCPU_PREEMPTED bit
- Allow guests to see TOPOEXT, GFNI, VAES, VPCLMULQDQ, and more AVX512
features
- Show vcpu id in its anonymous inode name
- Many fixes and cleanups
- Per-VCPU MSR bitmaps (already merged through x86/pti branch)
- Stable KVM clock when nesting on Hyper-V (merged through x86/hyperv)
