Subject: [PATCH 0/3] xen/pvh: Dom0 support

Hello,

The following patches enable booting a PVH Dom0. So far I've only tested
them in my test box, so I expect more issues will show up as this gets
further testing. In any case, this is the bare minimum to get a PVH Dom0
working.

In order to test them Xen 4.11 RC or plain master/staging should be
used. Compile a Linux kernel with this patches and PVH support and add
dom0=pvh to the Xen command line. The following message will be
displayed during boot by the Linux kernel if PVH mode is used:

"Booting paravirtualized kernel on Xen PVH"

Thanks, Roger.

  xen/pvh: enable and set default MTRR type
  xen/store: do not store local values in xen_start_info
  xen: share start flags between PV and PVH
