Merge tag 'stable/for-linus-3.7-rc0-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen
Pull Xen fixes from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk: "This has four bug-fixes and one tiny feature that I forgot to put initially in my tree due to oversight. The feature is for kdump kernels to speed up the /proc/vmcore reading. There is a ram_is_pfn helper function that the different platforms can register for. We are now doing that. The bug-fixes cover some embarrassing struct pv_cpu_ops variables being set to NULL on Xen (but not baremetal). We had a similar issue in the past with {write|read}_msr_safe and this fills the three missing ones. The other bug-fix is to make the console output (hvc) be capable of dealing with misbehaving backends and not fall flat on its face. Lastly, a quirk for older XenBus implementations that came with an ancient v3.4 hypervisor (so RHEL5 based) - reading of certain non-existent attributes just hangs the guest during bootup - so we take precaution of not doing that on such older installations. Feature: - Register a pfn_is_ram helper to speed up reading of /proc/vmcore. Bug-fixes: - Three pvops call for Xen were undefined causing BUG_ONs. - Add a quirk so that the shutdown watches (used by kdump) are not used with older Xen (3.4). - Fix ungraceful state transition for the HVC console." * tag 'stable/for-linus-3.7-rc0-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen: xen/pv-on-hvm kexec: add quirk for Xen 3.4 and shutdown watches. xen/bootup: allow {read|write}_cr8 pvops call. xen/bootup: allow read_tscp call for Xen PV guests. xen pv-on-hvm: add pfn_is_ram helper for kdump xen/hvc: handle backend CLOSED without CLOSING
