Subject: [PATCH v4 0/2] Clear .bss for PV guests

PV guests need to have their .bss zeroed out since it is not guaranteed
to be cleared by Xen's domain builder (even if it is done so currently)

v4:
* Better use of mode-selecting macros.
* Drop stable tag.
* Update commit message for patch 1.

Boris Ostrovsky (2):
  xen/x86: Zero out .bss for PV guests
  xen/x86: Drop mode-selecting ifdefs in startup_xen()
