Subject: [Patch V2 0/4] xen: auto-generate symbols for xen hypercalls

The Xen hypercalls are defined in include/xen/interface/xen.h. There
are some places where for each hypercall a table element is created.
Instead of manually add each hypercall element to these tables use
an auto generated header built during the make process of the kernel.

Changes in V2:
- add "autogenerated" comment to generated header file as suggested by
  David Vrabel (patch 1)
- some minor adjustments to patch 4 as suggested by David Vrabel

Juergen Gross (4):
  xen: build infrastructure for generating hypercall depending symbols
  xen: synchronize include/xen/interface/xen.h with xen
  xen: use generated hypervisor symbols in arch/x86/xen/trace.c
  xen: use generated hypercall symbols in arch/x86/xen/xen-head.S
