  KVM: s390: Add proper dirty bitmap support to S390 kvm. (2014-04-09 11:12:15 +0200)

----------------------------------------------------------------
here are two changes for KVM on s390:
- newer Linux version don't use the storage keys for dirty and
  reference tracking. We can optimize the guest handling for
  those guests for faults as well as page-in and page-out by
  simply not caring about the guest visible storage key. We trap
  guest storage key instruction to enable  those keys only on demand.
- Migration bitmap: Until now s390 never provided a proper dirty
  bitmap.  Let's provide a proper migration bitmap for s390. We also
  change the user dirty tracking to a fault based mechanism. This
  makes the host completely independent from the storage keys. Long
  term this will allow us to back guest memory with large pages.

Please note:
The first patch commit 60bfdc8cd150  (KVM: s390: also set guest pages
back to stable on kexec/kdump) is only included to avoid a compile
error in the calls to page_table_reset_pgste. This commit already made
its way into Linus git as commit id 1b6a19b34d54d3d56b9042 and we need
to adopt the new call as well.
The merge conflict between Linus tree and kvm tree is easy to solve.
(kvm tree has the final result)

All patches that touch s390 memory management are either ACKed or
written by the s390 maintainers.
