Merge remote-tracking branch 'remotes/bonzini/tags/for-upstream' into staging
* KVM error improvement from Laurent
* CONFIG_PARALLEL fix from Mirek
* Atomic/optimized dirty bitmap access from myself and Stefan
* BUILD_DIR convenience/bugfix from Peter C
* Memory leak fix from Shannon
* SMM improvements (though still TCG only) from myself and Gerd, acked by mst
