Merge tag 'stable/for-linus-3.6-rc0-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen

Pull Xen update from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
 "Features:
   * Performance improvement to lower the amount of traps the hypervisor
     has to do 32-bit guests.  Mainly for setting PTE entries and
     updating TLS descriptors.
   * MCE polling driver to collect hypervisor MCE buffer and present
     them to /dev/mcelog.
   * Physical CPU online/offline support.  When an privileged guest is
     booted it is present with virtual CPUs, which might have an 1:1 to
     physical CPUs but usually don't.  This provides mechanism to
     offline/online physical CPUs.
  Bug-fixes for:
   * Coverity found fixes in the console and ACPI processor driver.
   * PVonHVM kexec fixes along with some cleanups.
   * Pages that fall within E820 gaps and non-RAM regions (and had been
     released to hypervisor) would be populated back, but potentially in
     non-RAM regions."

* tag 'stable/for-linus-3.6-rc0-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen:
  xen: populate correct number of pages when across mem boundary (v2)
  xen PVonHVM: move shared_info to MMIO before kexec
  xen: simplify init_hvm_pv_info
  xen: remove cast from HYPERVISOR_shared_info assignment
  xen: enable platform-pci only in a Xen guest
  xen/pv-on-hvm kexec: shutdown watches from old kernel
  xen/x86: avoid updating TLS descriptors if they haven't changed
  xen/x86: add desc_equal() to compare GDT descriptors
  xen/mm: zero PTEs for non-present MFNs in the initial page table
  xen/mm: do direct hypercall in xen_set_pte() if batching is unavailable
  xen/hvc: Fix up checks when the info is allocated.
  xen/acpi: Fix potential memory leak.
  xen/mce: add .poll method for mcelog device driver
  xen/mce: schedule a workqueue to avoid sleep in atomic context
  xen/pcpu: Xen physical cpus online/offline sys interface
  xen/mce: Register native mce handler as vMCE bounce back point
  x86, MCE, AMD: Adjust initcall sequence for xen
  xen/mce: Add mcelog support for Xen platform
