This all looks good.  I'll get the KVM changes applied and pushed (assuming they
pass testing).

For the selftests, I'm going to hold off on applying them until after the initial
pull requests for 7.2 are merged into Paolo's tree.  The (AWESOME!!!) L2 stack
changes are going to cause conflict hell, and it's easy enough for me to carry
them out of tree for a few weeks.

I'll send a refreshed version of the selftest once kvm-x86 has settled down for
7.2, e.g. to account for the gpat test as well.
