[GIT PULL] (xen) stable/for-linus-3.14-rc0-tag

[Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk]

Hey Linus,

Please git pull the following tag:

 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xen/tip.git stable/for-linus-3.14-rc0-tag

which has two major features that Xen community is excited about:
<blurb  - please include it in the merge commit>

The first is event channel scalability by David Vrabel - we switch over from an
two-level per-cpu bitmap of events (IRQs) - to an FIFO queue with priorities.
This lets us be able to handle more events, have lower latency, and better
scalability. Good stuff.

The other is PVH by Mukesh Rathor. In short, PV is a mode where the kernel lets
the hypervisor program page-tables, segments, etc. With EPT/NPT capabilities in
current processors, the overhead of doing this in an HVM (Hardware Virtual
Machine) container is much lower than the hypervisor doing it for us. In short
we let a PV guest run without doing page-table, segment, syscall, etc updates
through the hypervisor - instead it is all done within the guest container.
It is a "hybrid" PV - hence the 'PVH' name - a PV guest within an HVM container.

The major benefits are less code to deal with - for example we only
use one function from the the pv_mmu_ops (which has 39 function calls);
faster performance for syscall (no context switches into the hypervisor);
less traps on various operations; etc.

It is still being baked - the ABI is not yet set in stone. But it is
pretty awesome and we are excited about it.

Lastly, there are some changes to ARM code - you should get a simple conflict
which has been resolved in #linux-next.

In short, this pull has awesome features.
