Subject: [PATCH 0/7] Xen PV on HVM fixes and improvements

Hi all,
this patch series is a collection of fixes and improvements for Linux
running as Xen PV on HVM guest.
Most of the patches have already been sent to the list at least once,

The list of patches with diffstat follows:

Stefano Stabellini (7):
      xen: no need to delay xen_setup_shutdown_event for hvm guests anymore

      xen-blkfront: handle Xen major numbers other than XENVBD
      xen: make the ballon driver work for hvm domains
      xen: PV on HVM: support PV spinlocks
