The Xen memory hotplug limit should depend on the memory hotplug
generic option, rather than the Xen balloon configuration. It's
possible to have a kernel with generic memory hotplug enabled, but
without Xen balloon enabled, at which point memory hotplug won't work
correctly due to the size limitation of the p2m.

Rename the option to XEN_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_LIMIT since it's no longer
tied to ballooning.

Requesting zeroed memory when all of it will be overwritten subsequently
by all ones is a waste of processing bandwidth. In fact, rather than
recording zeroed -&gt;grants[], fill that array too with more appropriate
"invalid" indicators.

It's not helpful if every driver has to cook its own. Generalize
xenbus'es INVALID_GRANT_HANDLE and pcifront's INVALID_GRANT_REF (which
shouldn't have expanded to zero to begin with). Use the constants in
p2m.c and gntdev.c right away, and update field types where necessary so
they would match with the constants' types (albeit without touching
struct ioctl_gntdev_grant_ref's ref field, as that's part of the public
interface of the kernel and would require introducing a dependency on
Xen's grant_table.h public header).

When changing the cpu affinity of an event it can happen today that
(with some unlucky timing) the same event will be handled on the old
and the new cpu at the same time.

Avoid that by adding an "event active" flag to the per-event data and
call the handler only if this flag isn't set.

An event channel should be kept masked when an eoi is pending for it.
When being migrated to another cpu it might be unmasked, though.

In order to avoid this keep three different flags for each event channel
to be able to distinguish "normal" masking/unmasking from eoi related
masking/unmasking and temporary masking. The event channel should only
be able to generate an interrupt if all flags are cleared.
