Sorry, completely missed this.

There will be a minor conflict in KVM's reverse_cpuid, but it's trivial to resolve.
I don't anticipate any other conflicts, so taking this through tip does seem like
the best option.

If possible, a new version to fix the bisection issues in patches 2 and 3 would
be nice, but again it's not a big deal.  The breakage is very, very minor.
