Subject: [GIT PULL] (xen) stable/for-linus-fixes-3.3 for v3.3-rc1

Hey Linus,

Just two more fixes and I think that is all (I hope) from me until v3.4.

I had to merge in v3.3-rc1 for this branch as one of the fixes was dependent
on the patches that got submitted during this release cycle.
 
Please git pull:

 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen.git stable/for-linus-fixes-3.3

which has two fixes:
 a) A spinlock issue where the Linux kernel was built with NR_CPUS < 256 we would
    end up corrupting the spinlock. The regression was introduced in v3.2 so
    it is also CC-ing the stable tree.
 b) The granttable v2 looks to not work in HVM domains, and that seems to be
    due to not mapping the status pages. We can do the proper fix in 3.4
    time-frame.

That is it, please pull!
