Subject: [GIT PULL] xen domU control interfaces


This series adds some usermode interfaces for interfacing with Xen from
an unprivileged domain:
	- Xen support for /sys/hypervisor
	- /dev/evtchn, to allow usermode to block on and send events via
	  event channels
	- updates to xenfs (/proc/xen)
	- updates to the xenbus interface

Thanks,
	J
