Ok, my queue is a bit large so I'll probably not push to git.kernel.org
until next week but in any case this is what it will look like:

Radim KrÄmÃÅ (5):
KVM: add kvm_arch_sched_in
KVM: x86: introduce sched_in to kvm_x86_ops
KVM: VMX: make PLE window per-VCPU <<< ple_window_dirty squashed here
KVM: VMX: dynamise PLE window
KVM: trace kvm_ple_window grow/shrink
