#1455459 — [PATCH v2 0/3] vmx: miscellaneous cleanups

v1 posted here https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/7/20/605

v2:
1/3 : Replacing BUG_ONs with WARN_ONs is not necessary
2/3 : No change
3/3 : Remove the kvm parameter from two other functions
4/3 : Removed, although the spec says to do it, it can't be triggered

These are some very minor vmx cleanups.
2/4 is necessary for nested esx to be able to
successfully launch a guest of its own. Without single context
invalidation present, it just disables ept altogether.

Bandan Das (3):
  nvmx: remove comment about missing nested vpid support
  nvmx: mark ept single context invalidation as supported
  mmu: don't pass *kvm to spte_write_protect and spte_*_dirty

Applied patches 1-2, while 3 will wait for 4.9.
