Merge remote-tracking branch 'remotes/bonzini/tags/for-upstream' into staging

x86 and SCSI fixes.  I left out the APIC device model
patches, pending confirmation from the submitter that they really
fix QNX.

* remotes/bonzini/tags/for-upstream:
  acpi: accurate overflow check
  smbios: change 'ram_addr_t' variables to 'uint64_t'
  kvmclock: Add comment explaining why we need cpu_clean_all_dirty()
  target-i386: fix Coverity complaints about overflows
  apic_common: migrate missing fields
  target-i386: eliminate dead code and hoist common code out of "if"
  virtio-scsi: Fix comment for VirtIOSCSIReq
  virtio-scsi: dataplane: suppress guest notification
  esp: Do not overwrite ESP_TCHI after reset
  virtio-scsi: dataplane: fix allocation for 'cmd_vrings'
  esp: fix coding standards
