Netfront driver can be also useful in dom0, eg when all NICs are assigned to
some domU (aka driver domain). Then using netback in domU and netfront in dom0
is the only way to get network access in dom0.

Pull xen fixes from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
 "Two fixes for regressions:
   * one is a workaround that will be removed in v3.5 with proper fix in
     the tip/x86 tree,
   * the other is to fix drivers to load on PV (a previous patch made
     them only load in PVonHVM mode).

  The rest are just minor fixes in the various drivers and some cleanup
  in the core code."

* tag 'stable/for-linus-3.4-rc1-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen:
  xen/pcifront: avoid pci_frontend_enable_msix() falsely returning success
  xen/pciback: fix XEN_PCI_OP_enable_msix result
  xen/smp: Remove unnecessary call to smp_processor_id()
  xen/x86: Workaround 'x86/ioapic: Add register level checks to detect bogus io-apic entries'

   * Fix reading /sys/hypervisor even if PVonHVM drivers are not loaded.
   * In Xen ACPI processor driver: remove too verbose WARN messages, fix
     up the Kconfig dependency to be a module by default, and add
     dependency on CPU_FREQ.
   * Disable CPU frequency drivers from loading when booting under Xen
     (as we want the Xen ACPI processor to be used instead).
   * Cleanups in tmem code."

When xen_emul_unplug=never is specified on kernel command line
reading files from /sys/hypervisor is broken (returns -EBUSY).
It is caused by xen_bus dependency on platform-pci and
platform-pci isn't initialized when xen_emul_unplug=never is
specified.

Fix it by allowing platform-pci to ignore xen_emul_unplug=never,
and do not intialize xen_[blk|net]front instead.

add polling interface to xen-netfront device to support netconsole

This patch also alters the spin_lock usage to use irqsave variant.
Documentation/networking/netdevices.txt states that start_xmit
can be called with interrupts disabled by netconsole and therefore using
the irqsave/restore locking in this function is looks correct.
