Subject: [GIT PULL] (xen) stable/backend.base.v3 stable/gntalloc.v7 for 2.6.40

Hey Linus

Please git pull:

 git pull git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen.git stable/backend.base.v3 stable/gntalloc.v7

where stable/backend.base.v3 is based off v2.6.39-rc3
(a6360dd37e1a144ed11e6548371bade559a1e4df)
This particular patchset touches a lot of Xen code in different directories,
which I could have avoided by splitting the patches in different branches.
However for simplicity reasons (one branch name so much easier to keep in mind)
I stuck them all in this branch.

The patchset does a couple of things:
 - Allows the Xen's Machine to Frame Number (MFN) to Page Frame Number (PFN)
   override mechanism (which we as a way to share pages with other guests)
   to work with other backends. The other backend right now is the block
   backend, but can also be the network backend.
 - Fixes compile errors if backends are compiled as modules.
 - Lays out the groundwork for the PCI backend to remember which of the PCI
   devices are assigned to a guest if the pci backend is used.
 - Lastly, exposes some of the Xen's IRQ lookup code to the pci backend so
   that the correct Physical IRQ (GSI or vector if MSI/MSI-X used) is
   provided to the guest.

The #stable/gntalloc.v7 is based of .. 38eaeb0fd8819dce424a61579500bd9987d5c930
(xen: gntdev: fix build warning), which went in at the beginning of 2.6.39.
Anyhow, it just removes an unneeded flag.
