Pull more xen updates from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
 "One tiny feature that accidentally got lost in the initial git pull:
   * Add fast-EOI acking of interrupts (clear a bit instead of
     hypercall)
  And bug-fixes:
   * Fix CPU bring-up code missing a call to notify other subsystems.
   * 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."

Complete the renaming from "flush" to "invalidate" across
both tmem frontends (cleancache and frontswap) and both tmem backends
(Xen and zcache), as required by akpm.

This change is completely cosmetic.

Provide the shim code for frontswap for Xen tmem even if the
frontswap patchset is not present yet.  (The egg is before
the chicken.)

<title>xen: cleancache shim to Xen Transcendent Memory</title>

<id>5bc20fc59706214d9591c11e1938a629d3538c12</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch provides a shim between the kernel-internal cleancache
API (see Documentation/mm/cleancache.txt) and the Xen Transcendent
Memory ABI (see http://oss.oracle.com/projects/tmem).

Xen tmem provides "hypervisor RAM" as an ephemeral page-oriented
pseudo-RAM store for cleancache pages, shared cleancache pages,
and frontswap pages.  Tmem provides enterprise-quality concurrency,
full save/restore and live migration support, compression
and deduplication.

A presentation showing up to 8% faster performance and up to 52%
reduction in sectors read on a kernel compile workload, despite
aggressive in-kernel page reclamation ("self-ballooning") can be
found at:
