Renaming docs seems to be en vogue at the moment, so fix on of the
grossly misnamed directories. We usually never use "virtual" as
a shortcut for virtualization in the kernel, but always virt,
as seen in the virt/ top-level directory. Fix up the documentation
to match that.

Pull xen updates from Juergen Gross:
"Fixes and features:
- A series to introduce a common command line parameter for disabling
paravirtual extensions when running as a guest in virtualized
environment
- A fix for int3 handling in Xen pv guests

Pull xfs cleanups from Darrick Wong:
"We had a few more lateish cleanup patches come in for 5.3 -- a couple

Summary:
- Bring fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_trans_inode.c in sync with userspace

- Convert the xfs administrator guide to rst and move it into the
official admin guide under Documentation"
