BTW, the memblock changes prevent the kernel from booting under Xen; it
crashes while setting up the linear maps.  I haven't worked out what's
failing yet, aside from bisecting it down to one of a9ce6bc151000 or
72d7c3b33c9808 (they don't compile in isolation so I had to skip them,
but both are likely looking, but unfortunately large, complex and hard
to further subdivide).

I'll look further into this, but just a heads-up for the upcoming merge
window.
