Pull five Xen bug-fixes from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:

 - When booting as PVHVM we would try to use PV console - but would not validate
   the parameters causing us to crash during restore b/c we re-use the wrong event
   channel.
 - When booting on machines with SR-IOV PCI bridge we didn't check for the bridge
   and tried to use it.
 - Under AMD machines would advertise the APERFMPERF resulting in needless amount
   of MSRs from the guest.
 - A global value (xen_released_pages) was not subtracted at bootup when pages
   were added back in. This resulted in the balloon worker having the wrong
   account of how many pages were truly released.
 - Fix dead-lock when xen-blkfront is run in the same domain as xen-blkback.

* tag 'stable/for-linus-3.5-rc2-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen:
  xen: mark local pages as FOREIGN in the m2p_override
  xen/setup: filter APERFMPERF cpuid feature out
  xen/balloon: Subtract from xen_released_pages the count that is populated.
  xen/pci: Check for PCI bridge before using it.
  xen/events: Add WARN_ON when quick lookup found invalid type.
  xen/hvc: Check HVM_PARAM_CONSOLE_[EVTCHN|PFN] for correctness.
  xen/hvc: Fix error cases around HVM_PARAM_CONSOLE_PFN
  xen/hvc: Collapse error logic.

Pull frontswap feature from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
 "Frontswap provides a "transcendent memory" interface for swap pages.
  In some environments, dramatic performance savings may be obtained
  because swapped pages are saved in RAM (or a RAM-like device) instead
  of a swap disk.  This tag provides the basic infrastructure along with
  some changes to the existing backends."

Fix up trivial conflict in mm/Makefile due to removal of swap token code
changing a line next to the new frontswap entry.

This pull request came in before the merge window even opened, it got
delayed to after the merge window by me just wanting to make sure it had
actual users.  Apparently IBM is using this on their embedded side, and
Jan Beulich says that it's already made available for SLES and OpenSUSE
users.

Also acked by Rik van Riel, and Konrad points to other people liking it
too.  So in it goes.

Some SR-IOV devices may use more than one bus number, but there is no real bridges
because that have internal routing mechanism. So need to check whether the bridge is
existing before using it.

All of the bind_XYZ_to_irq do a quick lookup to see if the
event exists. And if it does, then the initialized IRQ number
is returned instead of initializing a new IRQ number.

This patch adds an extra logic to check that the type returned
is proper one and that there is an IRQ handler setup for it.

This patch has the benefit of being able to find drivers that
are doing something naught.

[v1: Enhanced based on Stefano's review]

<content type='text'>
Pull x86 trampoline rework from H. Peter Anvin:
 "This code reworks all the "trampoline"/"realmode" code (various bits
  that need to live in the first megabyte of memory, most but not all of
  which runs in real mode at some point) in the kernel into a single
  object.  The main reason for doing this is that it eliminates the last
  place in the kernel where we needed pages to be mapped RWX.  This code
  separates all that code into proper R/RW/RX pages."

Fix up conflicts in arch/x86/kernel/Makefile (mca removed next to reboot
code), and arch/x86/kernel/reboot.c (reboot code moved around in one
branch, modified in this one), and arch/x86/tools/relocs.c (mostly same
code came in earlier due to working around the ld bugs just before the
3.4 release).

Also remove stale x86-relocs entry from scripts/.gitignore as per Peter
Anvin.

* commit '61f5446169046c217a5479517edac3a890c3bee7': (36 commits)
  x86, realmode: Move end signature into header.S

Pull Xen updates from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
 "Features:
   * Extend the APIC ops implementation and add IRQ_WORKER vector
     support so that 'perf' can work properly.
   * Fix self-ballooning code, and balloon logic when booting as initial
     domain.
   * Move array printing code to generic debugfs
   * Support XenBus domains.
   * Lazily free grants when a domain is dead/non-existent.
   * In M2P code use batching calls
  Bug-fixes:
   * Fix NULL dereference in allocation failure path (hvc_xen)
   * Fix unbinding of IRQ_WORKER vector during vCPU hot-unplug
   * Fix HVM guest resume - we would leak an PIRQ value instead of
     reusing the existing one."

Fix up add-add onflicts in arch/x86/xen/enlighten.c due to addition of
apic ipi interface next to the new apic_id functions.

* tag 'stable/for-linus-3.5-rc0-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen:
  xen: do not map the same GSI twice in PVHVM guests.
  hvc_xen: NULL dereference on allocation failure
  xen: Add selfballoning memory reservation tunable.
  xenbus: Add support for xenbus backend in stub domain
  xen/smp: unbind irqworkX when unplugging vCPUs.
  xen: enter/exit lazy_mmu_mode around m2p_override calls
  xen/acpi/sleep: Enable ACPI sleep via the __acpi_os_prepare_sleep
  xen: implement IRQ_WORK_VECTOR handler
  xen: implement apic ipi interface
  xen/setup: update VA mapping when releasing memory during setup
  xen/setup: Combine the two hypercall functions - since they are quite similar.
  xen/setup: Populate freed MFNs from non-RAM E820 entries and gaps to E820 RAM
  xen/setup: Only print "Freeing XXX-YYY pfn range: Z pages freed" if Z &gt; 0
  xen/gnttab: add deferred freeing logic
  debugfs: Add support to print u32 array in debugfs
  xen/p2m: An early bootup variant of set_phys_to_machine
  xen/p2m: Collapse early_alloc_p2m_middle redundant checks.
  xen/p2m: Allow alloc_p2m_middle to call reserve_brk depending on argument
  xen/p2m: Move code around to allow for better re-usage.

PV on HVM guests map GSIs into event channels. At restore time the
event channels are resumed by restore_pirqs.

Device drivers might try to register the same GSI again through ACPI at
restore time, but the GSI has already been mapped and bound by
restore_pirqs. This patch detects these situations and avoids
 mapping the same GSI multiple times.

Without this patch we get:
(XEN) irq.c:2235: dom4: pirq 23 or emuirq 28 already mapped
and waste a pirq.

<title>xen: Add selfballoning memory reservation tunable.</title>

Currently, the memory target in the Xen selfballooning driver is mainly
driven by the value of "Committed_AS".  However, there are cases in
which it is desirable to assign additional memory to be available for
the kernel, e.g. for local caches (which are not covered by cleancache),
e.g. dcache and inode caches.

This adds an additional tunable in the selfballooning driver (accessible
via sysfs) which allows the user to specify an additional constant
amount of memory to be reserved by the selfballoning driver for the
local domain.

Add an ioctl to the /dev/xen/xenbus_backend device allowing the xenbus
backend to be started after the kernel has booted. This allows xenstore
to run in a different domain from the dom0.
