Subject: [GIT PULL] (xen) stable/bug-fixes-for-rc7 for 2.6.39-rc7

Hey Linus,

Please git pull:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen.git stable/bug-fixes-for-rc7

which has patches since git commit 0ee5623f9a6e52df90a78bd21179f8ab370e102e:

Linus Torvalds (1):

    Linux 2.6.39-rc6

It has the patches that we discussed in "Re: Linux 2.6.39-rc7" email thread
and I've put: "H. Peter Anvin <hpa@...or.com>" on the ones touching the generic code.

Details and explanation are in the mentioned email thread
(http://marc.info/?i=4DC9CD60.6010200@zytor.com). As Peter mentioned I've promised to
drive the work to remove this workaround to get a better fix - so this workaround will
be removed.

Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk (1):
      Revert "xen/mmu: Add workaround "x86-64, mm: Put early page table high""

Sedat Dilek (1):
      x86/mm: Fix section mismatch derived from native_pagetable_reserve()

Stefano Stabellini (1):
      x86,xen: introduce x86_init.mapping.pagetable_reserve
