Pull xen updates from David Vrabel:
 "Xen features and fixes for 4.3:

   - Convert xen-blkfront to the multiqueue API
   - [arm] Support binding event channels to different VCPUs.
   - [x86] Support &gt; 512 GiB in a PV guests (off by default as such a
     guest cannot be migrated with the current toolstack).
   - [x86] PMU support for PV dom0 (limited support for using perf with
     Xen and other guests)"

<title>xen: allow more than 512 GB of RAM for 64 bit pv-domains</title>

<id>c70727a5bc18a5a233fddc6056d1de9144d7a293</id>
<content type='text'>
64 bit pv-domains under Xen are limited to 512 GB of RAM today. The
main reason has been the 3 level p2m tree, which was replaced by the
virtual mapped linear p2m list. Parallel to the p2m list which is
being used by the kernel itself there is a 3 level mfn tree for usage
by the Xen tools and eventually for crash dump analysis. For this tree
the linear p2m list can serve as a replacement, too. As the kernel
can't know whether the tools are capable of dealing with the p2m list
instead of the mfn tree, the limit of 512 GB can't be dropped in all
cases.

This patch replaces the hard limit by a kernel parameter which tells
the kernel to obey the 512 GB limit or not. The default is selected by
a configuration parameter which specifies whether the 512 GB limit
should be active per default for domUs (domain save/restore/migration
and crash dump analysis are affected).

Memory above the domain limit is returned to the hypervisor instead of
being identity mapped, which was wrong anyway.

The kernel configuration parameter to specify the maximum size of a
domain can be deleted, as it is not relevant any more.

by the Xen tools and eventually for crash dump analysis. For this tree
the linear p2m list can serve as a replacement, too. As the kernel
can't know whether the tools are capable of dealing with the p2m list
instead of the mfn tree, the limit of 512 GB can't be dropped in all
cases.

This patch replaces the hard limit by a kernel parameter which tells
the kernel to obey the 512 GB limit or not. The default is selected by
a configuration parameter which specifies whether the 512 GB limit
should be active per default for domUs (domain save/restore/migration
and crash dump analysis are affected).

Memory above the domain limit is returned to the hypervisor instead of
being identity mapped, which was wrong anyway.

The kernel configuration parameter to specify the maximum size of a
domain can be deleted, as it is not relevant any more.

A big problem with the current i8042 debugging option is that it outputs
data going to and from the keyboard by default. As a result, many dmesg
logs uploaded by users will unintentionally contain sensitive information
such as their password, as such it's probably a good idea not to output
data coming from the keyboard unless specifically enabled by the user.
