Subject: [GIT PULL] (xen) stable/for-linus-fixes-3.2 for 3.2-rc6 (a revert)

Hey Linus,

Please git pull this branch:

git pull git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen.git stable/for-linus-fixes-3.2

which has a revert for a kexec feature (where a guest could now properly
kexec as an HVM guest) that causes the Linux kernel to not boot under
Amazon EC2 anymore. The runway is quite short and with the holidays we
won't be able to fix this so reverting the feature is the only way.

Thanks!
