Subject: [GIT PULL] Xen PV on HVM cleanups, fixes and improvements for
 2.6.39

Linus,
please pull this branch, based on Linux 2.6.38-rc6:

git://xenbits.xen.org/people/sstabellini/linux-pvhvm.git for-linus

It contains several PV on HVM cleanups, refactoring and fixes,
especially in the area of suspend/resume.
It also enables the balloon driver, PV spinlocks and event channels for
IPI delivery when running as an HVM guest.


The list of changes with a diffstat follows:

Ian Campbell (11):
      xen: do not respond to unknown xenstore control requests
      xen: use new schedop interface for suspend
      xen: switch to new schedop hypercall by default.
      xen: suspend: use HYPERVISOR_suspend for PVHVM case instead of open coding
      xen: suspend: refactor cancellation flag into a structure
      xen: suspend: pass extra hypercall argument via suspend_info struct
      xen: suspend: add "arch" to pre/post suspend hooks
      xen: suspend: refactor non-arch specific pre/post suspend hooks
      xen: suspend: move arch specific pre/post suspend hooks into generic hooks
      xen: suspend: pull pre/post suspend hooks out into suspend_info
      xen: suspend: remove xen_hvm_suspend

Stefano Stabellini (6):
      xen: no need to delay xen_setup_shutdown_event for hvm guests anymore
      xen: do not use xen_info on HVM, set pv_info name to "Xen HVM"
      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 and IPIs
      xen: fix compile issue if XEN is enabled but XEN_PVHVM is disabled
