Content-Disposition: inline; filename=xen-multicall-callbacks.patch

From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@...p.org>

patch 91e0c5f3dad47838cb2ecc1865ce789a0b7182b1 in mainline.

This adds a mechanism to register a callback function to be called once
a batch of hypercalls has been issued.  This is typically used to unlock
things which must remain locked until the hypercall has taken place.
