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.

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.

Pull Xen updates from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
 "Features:
   * Extend the APIC ops implementation and add IRQ_WORKER vector

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.

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.

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.

Sounds so much more natural.

<title>xen: enter/exit lazy_mmu_mode around m2p_override calls</title>

This patch is a significant performance improvement for the
m2p_override: about 6% using the gntdev device.

Each m2p_add/remove_override call issues a MULTI_grant_table_op and a
__flush_tlb_single if kmap_op != NULL.  Batching all the calls together
is a great performance benefit because it means issuing one hypercall
total rather than two hypercall per page.
If paravirt_lazy_mode is set PARAVIRT_LAZY_MMU, all these calls are
going to be batched together, otherwise they are issued one at a time.

Adding arch_enter_lazy_mmu_mode/arch_leave_lazy_mmu_mode around the
m2p_add/remove_override calls forces paravirt_lazy_mode to
PARAVIRT_LAZY_MMU, therefore makes sure that they are always batched.

However it is not safe to call arch_enter_lazy_mmu_mode if we are in
interrupt context or if we are already in PARAVIRT_LAZY_MMU mode, so
check for both conditions before doing so.

Changes in v4:
- rebased on 3.4-rc4: all the m2p_override users call gnttab_unmap_refs
and gnttab_map_refs;
- check whether we are in interrupt context and the lazy_mode we are in
before calling arch_enter/leave_lazy_mmu_mode.

Changes in v3:
- do not call arch_enter/leave_lazy_mmu_mode in xen_blkbk_unmap, that
can be called in interrupt context.
