Pull Xen updates from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
 "This has tons of fixes and two major features which are concentrated
  around the Xen SWIOTLB library.

  The short &lt;blurb&gt; is that the tracing facility (just one function) has
  been added to SWIOTLB to make it easier to track I/O progress.
  Additionally under Xen and ARM (32 &amp; 64) the Xen-SWIOTLB driver
  "is used to translate physical to machine and machine to physical
  addresses of foreign[guest] pages for DMA operations" (Stefano) when
  booting under hardware without proper IOMMU.

  There are also bug-fixes, cleanups, compile warning fixes, etc.

  The commit times for some of the commits is a bit fresh - that is b/c
  we wanted to make sure we have the Ack's from the ARM folks - which
  with the string of back-to-back conferences took a bit of time.  Rest
  assured - the code has been stewing in #linux-next for some time.

  Features:
   - SWIOTLB has tracing added when doing bounce buffer.
   - Xen ARM/ARM64 can use Xen-SWIOTLB.  This work allows Linux to
     safely program real devices for DMA operations when running as a
     guest on Xen on ARM, without IOMMU support. [*1]
   - xen_raw_printk works with PVHVM guests if needed.

  Bug-fixes:
   - Make memory ballooning work under HVM with large MMIO region.
   - Inform hypervisor of MCFG regions found in ACPI DSDT.
   - Remove deprecated IRQF_DISABLED.
   - Remove deprecated __cpuinit.

  [*1]:
  "On arm and arm64 all Xen guests, including dom0, run with second
   stage translation enabled.  As a consequence when dom0 programs a
   device for a DMA operation is going to use (pseudo) physical
   addresses instead machine addresses.  This work introduces two trees
   to track physical to machine and machine to physical mappings of
   foreign pages.  Local pages are assumed mapped 1:1 (physical address
   == machine address).  It enables the SWIOTLB-Xen driver on ARM and
   ARM64, so that Linux can translate physical addresses to machine
   addresses for dma operations when necessary.  " (Stefano)"

* tag 'stable/for-linus-3.13-rc0-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xen/tip: (32 commits)
  xen/arm: pfn_to_mfn and mfn_to_pfn return the argument if nothing is in the p2m
  arm,arm64/include/asm/io.h: define struct bio_vec
  swiotlb-xen: missing include dma-direction.h

Pull powerpc updates from Benjamin Herrenschmidt:
 "The bulk of this is LE updates.  One should now be able to build an LE
  kernel and even run some things in it.

  I'm still sitting on a handful of patches to enable the new ABI that I
  *might* still send this merge window around, but due to the
  incertainty (they are pretty fresh) I want to keep them separate.

  Other notable changes are some infrastructure bits to better handle
  PCI pass-through under KVM, some bits and pieces added to the new
  PowerNV platform support such as access to the CPU SCOM bus via sysfs,
  and support for EEH error handling on PHB3 (Power8 PCIe).

  We also grew arch_get_random_long() for both pseries and powernv when
  running on P7+ and P8, exploiting the HW rng.

  And finally various embedded updates from freescale"

 "The bulk of the patches for the 3.13 merge window.

  for the -march and -mtune compiler settings.

  Another important change is the removal of the user_mode=home option,
  user processes now always run in primary space.  The storage keys are

Commit d0380e6c3c0f6edb986d8798a23acfaf33d5df23 (early_printk:
consolidate random copies of identical code) added in 3.10 introduced
a check for con-&gt;index == -1 in early_console_register().

Initialize index to -1 for the xenboot console so earlyprintk=xen
works again.

<title>xen/hvc: If we use xen_raw_printk let it also work on HVM guests.</title>

The xen_raw_printk works great for debugging purposes. We use
for PV guests and we can also use it for HVM guests.

However, for HVM guests we have a fallback of using the 0xe9
port in case the hypervisor does not support an HVM guest of
using the console_io hypercall. As such lets use 0xe9 during
early bootup, and once the hyper-page is setup and if the
console_io hypercall is supported - use that. Otherwise we
will fallback to using the 0xe9 after early bootup.

We also alter the return value for dom0_write_console to return
an error value instead of zero. The HVC API has been supporting
returning error values for quite some time.

P.S.
To use (and to see the output in the Xen ring buffer) one has to build
the hypervisor with 'debug=y'.
