[PATCH v2 0/2] x86: add xen hypercall preemption

[Luis R. Rodriguez]

From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" <mcgrof@xxxxxxxx>

This is my second series which addresses hypercall preemption
on Xen. On the first iteration of this series [0] I tried as
much as possible to avoid cond_resched() type of behaviour
but after good feedback I've determined using something like
cond_resched() but on IRQ context is required for preempting
Xen hypercalls. This introduces and uses the new cond_resched_irq().
