Subject: [GIT PULL] (xen) tag stable/for-linus-fixes-3.3-rc5 

Hey Linus,

Please git pull the following tag:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen.git stable/for-linus-fixes-3.3-rc5

which has two fixes to fix a memory corruption bug when WC pages never get
converted back to WB but end up being recycled in the general memory
pool as WC.

There is a better way of fixing this, but there is not enough time to do the
full benchmarking to pick one of the right options - so picking the one that
favors stability for right now.

Please pull!
