Subject: [GIT PULL] (xen) stable/for-linus-3.6-rc1-tag

Hey Linus,

Please pull this tag:

 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen.git stable/for-linus-3.6-rc1-tag

which has just one tiny fix - way back in v3.5 we added a mechanism to populate
back pages that were released (they overlapped with MMIO regions), but neglected to
reserve the proper amount of virtual space for extend_brk to work properly. Coincidentally
some other commit aligned the _brk space to larger area so I didn't trigger this until
it was run on a machine with more than 2GB of MMIO space.

      xen/p2m: Reserve 8MB of _brk space for P2M leafs when populating back.
