Merge branch 'kvm-older-features' into HEAD
Merge branch for features that did not make it into 5.18:
* New ioctls to get/set TSC frequency for a whole VM
* Allow userspace to opt out of hypercall patching
Nested virtualization improvements for AMD:
* Support for "nested nested" optimizations (nested vVMLOAD/VMSAVE,
nested vGIF)
* Allow AVIC to co-exist with a nested guest running
* Fixes for LBR virtualizations when a nested guest is running,
and nested LBR virtualization support
* PAUSE filtering for nested hypervisors
Guest support:
* Decoupling of vcpu_is_preempted from PV spinlocks
