Subject: [GIT PULL] A couple of Xen bugfixes

Hi Linus,

Here's a couple of Xen bugfixes:

    * Suppress the extended topology leaf in cpuid; such details are
      meaningless in a virtual cpu
    * Make hvc_xen poll when the output buffer is full rather than
      depend on a workqueue to do it.  Otherwise we can lose oops info
      on crashes when scheduling has been disabled.

Thanks,
    J
