KVM: SEV: Do cache maintenance on the source VM during intra-host migrationgrafted
Manually perform cache maintenance on the source VM during intra-host migration to ensure no stale data is left in CPU caches after the VM is destroyed. Because the source VM is "converted" to a non-SEV VM, KVM's memory reclaim flows won't trigger cache maintenance, e.g. when all guest memory is reclaimed in response to detaching from the mmu_notifier. Note, relying on the destination VM to do cache maintenance isn't an option as KVM doesn't require identical guest memory configurations, i.e. the source VM may have access to memory that the destination VM does not. Enforcing equivalent memory configurations is infeasible, as it would require a *deep* comparison of memslots, e.g. to verify that not only are the memslot identical, but what the memslots point at is also identical.

+=================
+Linux Kernel SCTP
+=================
+
+This is the current BETA release of the Linux Kernel SCTP reference
+implementation.
+
+SCTP (Stream Control Transmission Protocol) is a IP based, message oriented,
+reliable transport protocol, with congestion control, support for
+transparent multi-homing, and multiple ordered streams of messages.
+RFC2960 defines the core protocol. The IETF SIGTRAN working group originally
+developed the SCTP protocol and later handed the protocol over to the
+Transport Area (TSVWG) working group for the continued evolvement of SCTP as a
+general purpose transport.
+
+See the IETF website (http://www.ietf.org) for further documents on SCTP.
+See http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2960.txt
+
+The initial project goal is to create an Linux kernel reference implementation
+of SCTP that is RFC 2960 compliant and provides an programming interface
+referred to as the UDP-style API of the Sockets Extensions for SCTP, as
+proposed in IETF Internet-Drafts.
+
+Caveats
+=======
+
+- lksctp can be built as statically or as a module. However, be aware that
+ module removal of lksctp is not yet a safe activity.
+
+- There is tentative support for IPv6, but most work has gone towards
+ implementation and testing lksctp on IPv4.
+
+
+For more information, please visit the lksctp project website:

+Or contact the lksctp developers through the mailing list:
