Series comparison

Hi; here's an arm pullreq. There's a combination of small stuff, plus
the hvf patchset that adds vGIC and nested-virt support.

v2 changes:
 * new patch "hvf: arm: override HV_SYS_REG_MDCR_EL2" should fix
   the CI failure from v1
 * minor wording tweak in -smb docs patch

thanks
