Hi Marc,

Nice job! I finally got through this series, and besides the mostly
cosmetic comments it looks pretty good to me.  I hope we can do slightly
more code sharing between the two platforms before a merge (especially
the identical header files and some of the fault injection stuff), but I
realize there may be technical reasons that make this hard to
accomplish.  Definitely kudos on being so feature complete that early.

I haven't been able to verify every bit and piece of control registers
and such, since I don't have the necessary docs, but from what I can
gather this looks pretty good, so, assuming you address the comments I
gave (especially at the least clearly commenting on the index into the
kvm_regs struct):
