Changes since v2:
- Add Paolo's Acked-by to PATCH6-7
- Add Thomas' Reviewed-by to PATCH1
- Update the description of PATCH2 to match the reality [Thomas Gleixner]
- Add __visible and __irq_entry annotations to hyperv_reenlightenment_intr()
  [Thomas Gleixner]
- Drop spinlock protection and use cpumask_any_but() in PATCH4

Original description:

Currently, KVM passes PVCLOCK_TSC_STABLE_BIT to its guests when running in
so called 'masterclock' mode and this is only possible when the clocksource
on the host is TSC. When running nested on Hyper-V we're using a different
clocksource in L1 (Hyper-V TSC Page) which can actually be used for
masterclock. This series brings the required support.

Making KVM work with TSC page clocksource is relatively easy, it is done in
PATCH 6 of the series. All the rest is required to support L1 migration
when TSC frequency changes, we use a special feature from Hyper-V to do
the job.

Vitaly Kuznetsov (7):
  x86/hyper-v: check for required priviliges in hyperv_init()
  x86/hyper-v: add a function to read both TSC and TSC page value
    simulateneously
  x86/hyper-v: reenlightenment notifications support
  x86/hyper-v: redirect reenlightment notifications on CPU offlining
  x86/irq: Count Hyper-V reenlightenment interrupts
  x86/kvm: pass stable clocksource to guests when running nested on
    Hyper-V
  x86/kvm: support Hyper-V reenlightenment
