Pull second batch of KVM updates from Radim Krčmář:
 "General:

   - move kvm_stat tool from QEMU repo into tools/kvm/kvm_stat (kvm_stat
     had nothing to do with QEMU in the first place -- the tool only
     interprets debugfs)

   - expose per-vm statistics in debugfs and support them in kvm_stat
     (KVM always collected per-vm statistics, but they were summarised
     into global statistics)

  x86:

   - fix dynamic APICv (VMX was improperly configured and a guest could
     access host's APIC MSRs, CVE-2016-4440)

   - minor fixes

  ARM changes from Christoffer Dall:

   - new vgic reimplementation of our horribly broken legacy vgic
     implementation.  The two implementations will live side-by-side
     (with the new being the configured default) for one kernel release
     and then we'll remove the legacy one.

   - fix for a non-critical issue with virtual abort injection to guests"

+NAME
+----
+kvm_stat - Report KVM kernel module event counters
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+'kvm_stat' [OPTION]...
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+kvm_stat prints counts of KVM kernel module trace events.  These events signify
+state transitions such as guest mode entry and exit.
+
+This tool is useful for observing guest behavior from the host perspective.
+Often conclusions about performance or buggy behavior can be drawn from the
+output.
+
+The set of KVM kernel module trace events may be specific to the kernel version
+or architecture.  It is best to check the KVM kernel module source code for the
+meaning of events.
+
