* kvm-arm64/vgic-v5-ppi: (40 commits) : . : Add initial GICv5 support for KVM guests, only adding PPI support : for the time being. Patches courtesy of Sascha Bischoff. : : From the cover letter: : : "This is v7 of the patch series to add the virtual GICv5 [1] device : (vgic_v5). Only PPIs are supported by this initial series, and the : vgic_v5 implementation is restricted to the CPU interface, : only. Further patch series are to follow in due course, and will add : support for SPIs, LPIs, the GICv5 IRS, and the GICv5 ITS." : .
