These are the x86, MIPS and s390 changes; PPC and ARM will come in a
few days.

MIPS and s390 have little going on this release; just bugfixes, some
small, some larger.

The highlights for x86 are nested VMX improvements (Jan Kiszka), optimizations
for old processor (up to Nehalem, by me and Bandan Das), and a lot of x86
emulator bugfixes (Nadav Amit).

Stephen Rothwell reported a trivial conflict with the tracing branch.
x86/kvm: Resolve shadow warnings in macro expansion

Resolve shadow warnings that appear in W=2 builds. Instead of
using ret to hold the return pointer, save the length in a new
variable saved_len and compute the pointer on exit. This also
resolves a very technical error, in that ret was declared as
a const char *, when it really was a char * const.
