Thank you, this all looks very nice. I've applied your fixes to
tip:x86/bugs, with the exception of the two KVM enablement patches.

I've also cherry-picked the apply_returns() fix separately to x86/urgent,
AFAICS that's the only super-urgent fix we want to push to the final v6.5
release before the weekend, right? The other fixes look like
reporting bugs, Kconfig oddities and inefficiencies at worst. Backporters
may still pick the rest from x86/bugs too - but we are too close to the
release right now.

Thanks,

	Ingo
