Merge tag 'stable/for-linus-3.6-rc0-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen
Pull Xen update from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk: "Features: * Performance improvement to lower the amount of traps the hypervisor has to do 32-bit guests. Mainly for setting PTE entries and updating TLS descriptors. * MCE polling driver to collect hypervisor MCE buffer and present them to /dev/mcelog. * Physical CPU online/offline support. When an privileged guest is booted it is present with virtual CPUs, which might have an 1:1 to physical CPUs but usually don't. This provides mechanism to offline/online physical CPUs. Bug-fixes for: * Coverity found fixes in the console and ACPI processor driver. * PVonHVM kexec fixes along with some cleanups. * Pages that fall within E820 gaps and non-RAM regions (and had been released to hypervisor) would be populated back, but potentially in non-RAM regions." * tag 'stable/for-linus-3.6-rc0-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen: xen: populate correct number of pages when across mem boundary (v2) xen PVonHVM: move shared_info to MMIO before kexec xen: simplify init_hvm_pv_info xen: remove cast from HYPERVISOR_shared_info assignment xen: enable platform-pci only in a Xen guest xen/pv-on-hvm kexec: shutdown watches from old kernel xen/x86: avoid updating TLS descriptors if they haven't changed xen/x86: add desc_equal() to compare GDT descriptors xen/mm: zero PTEs for non-present MFNs in the initial page table xen/mm: do direct hypercall in xen_set_pte() if batching is unavailable xen/hvc: Fix up checks when the info is allocated. xen/acpi: Fix potential memory leak. xen/mce: add .poll method for mcelog device driver xen/mce: schedule a workqueue to avoid sleep in atomic context xen/pcpu: Xen physical cpus online/offline sys interface xen/mce: Register native mce handler as vMCE bounce back point x86, MCE, AMD: Adjust initcall sequence for xen xen/mce: Add mcelog support for Xen platform

+Description:
+ A collection of global/individual Xen physical cpu attributes
+
+ Individual physical cpu attributes are contained in
+ subdirectories named by the Xen's logical cpu number, e.g.:
+ /sys/devices/system/xen_cpu/xen_cpu#/

+Description:
+ Interface to online/offline Xen physical cpus
+
+ When running under Xen platform, it provide user interface
+ to online/offline physical cpus, except cpu0 due to several
+ logic restrictions and assumptions.
