Subject: [patch 0/4] x86/kaiser: Paravirt support and various fixlets

The series contains the following changes against

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git WIP.x86/asm

 - Remove the flush_tlb_single paravirt patching. It's not longer INVPCID
   anymore. Especially not with KAISER enabled.

 - Remove the !PARAVIRT dependency of KAISER and just disable it at boot
   time when the kernel runs as XEN_PV guest.

 - Address a few review comments.

Thanks,

	tglx
