Subject: [PATCH 0/4] Switch X86_FEATURE_XENPV to cpu_feature_enabled() use

Make especially kernels without CONFIG_XEN_PV more efficient by
using cpu_feature_enabled(X86_FEATURE_XENPV) instead of boot_cpu_has()
and friends.

Juergen Gross (4):
  x86: add X86_FEATURE_XENPV to disabled-features.h
  x86: remove unneeded 64-bit dependency in arch_enter_from_user_mode()
  x86: drop 32-bit Xen PV guest code in update_task_stack()
  x86: switch to cpu_feature_enabled() for X86_FEATURE_XENPV
