Pull Xen bugfixes from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
 - Fix balloon driver for auto-translate guests (PVHVM, ARM) to not use
   scratch pages.
 - Fix block API header for ARM32 and ARM64 to have proper layout
 - On ARM when mapping guests, stick on PTE_SPECIAL
 - When using SWIOTLB under ARM, don't call swiotlb functions twice
 - When unmapping guests memory and if we fail, don't return pages which
   failed to be unmapped.
 - Grant driver was using the wrong address on ARM.

* tag 'stable/for-linus-3.13-rc4-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xen/tip:
  xen/balloon: Seperate the auto-translate logic properly (v2)
  xen/block: Correctly define structures in public headers on ARM32 and ARM64
  arm: xen: foreign mapping PTEs are special.
  xen/arm64: do not call the swiotlb functions twice
  xen: privcmd: do not return pages which we have failed to unmap
  XEN: Grant table address, xen_hvm_resume_frames, is a phys_addr not a pfn

On ARM (32 bits and 64 bits), the double-word is 8-bytes aligned. This will
result on different structure from Xen and Linux repositories.

As Linux is using __packed__ attribute, it must have a 4-bytes padding before
each "id" field.

This change breaks guest block support with older kernel. IMHO, it's acceptable
because Xen on ARM is still on Tech Preview and the hypercall ABI is not yet
freezed.

Only one architecture (x86_32) doesn't have 64-bit ABI for the block interface.
Don't add padding if Linux is compiled for this architecture.

This patch adds code to handle SKB_GSO_TCPV6 skbs and construct appropriate
extra or prefix segments to pass the large packet to the frontend. New
xenstore flags, feature-gso-tcpv6 and feature-gso-tcpv6-prefix, are sampled
to determine if the frontend is capable of handling such packets.

This patch adds a xenstore feature flag, festure-gso-tcpv6, to advertise
that netback can handle IPv6 TCP GSO packets. It creates SKB_GSO_TCPV6 skbs
if the frontend passes an extra segment with the new type
XEN_NETIF_GSO_TYPE_TCPV6 added to netif.h.

This is a complete rewrite of the Xen TPM frontend driver, taking
advantage of a simplified frontend/backend interface and adding support
for cancellation and timeouts.  The backend for this driver is provided
by a vTPM stub domain using the interface in Xen 4.3.

 "As I mentioned in the core block pull request, due to real life
  circumstances the driver pull request would be late.  Now it looks
  like -rc2 late...  On the plus side, apart form the rsxx update, these
  are all things that I could argue could go in later in the cycle as
  they are fixes and not features.  So even though things are late, it's
  not ALL bad.

  The pull request contains:

   - Updates to bcache, all bug fixes, from Kent.

   - A pile of drbd bug fixes (no big features this time!).

   - xen blk front/back fixes.

   - rsxx driver updates, some of them deferred form 3.10.  So should be
     well cooked by now"

Pull networking updates from David Miller:
 "This is a re-do of the net-next pull request for the current merge
  window.  The only difference from the one I made the other day is that
  this has Eliezer's interface renames and the timeout handling changes
  made based upon your feedback, as well as a few bug fixes that have
  trickeled in.

  Highlights:

   1) Low latency device polling, eliminating the cost of interrupt
      handling and context switches.  Allows direct polling of a network
      device from socket operations, such as recvmsg() and poll().

      Currently ixgbe, mlx4, and bnx2x support this feature.

      Full high level description, performance numbers, and design in
      commit 0a4db187a999 ("Merge branch 'll_poll'")

      From Eliezer Tamir.

   2) With the routing cache removed, ip_check_mc_rcu() gets exercised
      more than ever before in the case where we have lots of multicast
      addresses.  Use a hash table instead of a simple linked list, from
      Eric Dumazet.

   3) Add driver for Atheros CQA98xx 802.11ac wireless devices, from
      Bartosz Markowski, Janusz Dziedzic, Kalle Valo, Marek Kwaczynski,
      Marek Puzyniak, Michal Kazior, and Sujith Manoharan.

   4) Support reporting the TUN device persist flag to userspace, from
      Pavel Emelyanov.

   5) Allow controlling network device VF link state using netlink, from
      Rony Efraim.

   6) Support GRE tunneling in openvswitch, from Pravin B Shelar.

   7) Adjust SOCK_MIN_RCVBUF and SOCK_MIN_SNDBUF for modern times, from
      Daniel Borkmann and Eric Dumazet.

   8) Allow controlling of TCP quickack behavior on a per-route basis,
      from Cong Wang.

   9) Several bug fixes and improvements to vxlan from Stephen
      Hemminger, Pravin B Shelar, and Mike Rapoport.  In particular,
      support receiving on multiple UDP ports.

  10) Major cleanups, particular in the area of debugging and cookie
      lifetime handline, to the SCTP protocol code.  From Daniel

      network device flag changes in arp_netdev_event().  From Jiri
      Pirko and Timo Teräs.

  18) Convert several drivers over to module_pci_driver(), from Peter
      Huewe.

      like ipv4.  From Nicolas Dichtel.

      during RX packet processing via selective flow shedding.  From
      Willem de Bruijn.

  23) Don't use spinlocks in TCP md5 signing fast paths, from Eric
      Dumazet.

  24) Don't just drop GSO packets which are above the TBF scheduler's
      burst limit, chop them up so they are in-bounds instead.  Also
      from Eric Dumazet.

  25) VLAN offloads are missed when configured on top of a bridge, fix
      from Vlad Yasevich.

  26) Support IPV6 in ping sockets.  From Lorenzo Colitti.

      too, from David Majnemer.

  28) Fix several corner case regressions in PMTU/redirect handling due
      to the routing cache removal, from Timo Teräs.

  29) We have to be mindful of ipv4 mapped ipv6 sockets in

Pull networking updates from David Miller:
 "This is a re-do of the net-next pull request for the current merge
  window.  The only difference from the one I made the other day is that
  this has Eliezer's interface renames and the timeout handling changes
  made based upon your feedback, as well as a few bug fixes that have
  trickeled in.

  Highlights:

   1) Low latency device polling, eliminating the cost of interrupt
      handling and context switches.  Allows direct polling of a network
      device from socket operations, such as recvmsg() and poll().

      Currently ixgbe, mlx4, and bnx2x support this feature.

      Full high level description, performance numbers, and design in
      commit 0a4db187a999 ("Merge branch 'll_poll'")

      From Eliezer Tamir.

   2) With the routing cache removed, ip_check_mc_rcu() gets exercised
      more than ever before in the case where we have lots of multicast
      addresses.  Use a hash table instead of a simple linked list, from
      Eric Dumazet.

   3) Add driver for Atheros CQA98xx 802.11ac wireless devices, from
      Bartosz Markowski, Janusz Dziedzic, Kalle Valo, Marek Kwaczynski,
      Marek Puzyniak, Michal Kazior, and Sujith Manoharan.

   4) Support reporting the TUN device persist flag to userspace, from
      Pavel Emelyanov.

   5) Allow controlling network device VF link state using netlink, from
      Rony Efraim.

   6) Support GRE tunneling in openvswitch, from Pravin B Shelar.

   7) Adjust SOCK_MIN_RCVBUF and SOCK_MIN_SNDBUF for modern times, from
      Daniel Borkmann and Eric Dumazet.

   8) Allow controlling of TCP quickack behavior on a per-route basis,
      from Cong Wang.

   9) Several bug fixes and improvements to vxlan from Stephen
      Hemminger, Pravin B Shelar, and Mike Rapoport.  In particular,
      support receiving on multiple UDP ports.

  10) Major cleanups, particular in the area of debugging and cookie
      lifetime handline, to the SCTP protocol code.  From Daniel
      Borkmann.
