KVM: PCIPT: direct mmio

Amit, Below is the patch for PCI passthrough tree, it enables a guest to access a device's memory mapped I/O regions directly, without requiring the host to trap and emulate every MMIO access. This patch requires only userspace changes and it is relaying on the kernel patch by Anthony:

KVM: PCIPT: VT-d: avoid mapping memory slots with no backing page

Allen, This patch is for the VT-d support for pci passthrough. The target of this patch is to avoid adding VT-d mappings for memory slots that does not have backing pages such as mmio regions. This is required to support direct mmio for passthrough devices, but is probably recommanded in any

[PATCH 4/5] Make kvm guest use the paravirt clocksource structs and functions.

This patch updates the kvm host code to use the pvclock structs and functions, thereby making it compatible with Xen. The patch also fixes an initialization bug: on SMP systems the per-cpu has two different locations early at boot and after CPU bringup. kvmclock must take that in account when
