I haven't posted Linux part of PV(H) VPMU support in a while but now
that (hopefully) the hypervisor part is getting close to be done I
think it's time to post it again.

There are very few differences compared to the last version, mostly due
to updates in shared structures layouts. Patches 1 and 4 have no changes
at all and patch 5 has minor changes due to rebasing so I kept David's
Reviewed-by tag.
This breaks the arm and arm64 builds.

There is no PMU support for the moment on ARM and this hypercall is only
used for x86. I would introduce a new CONFIG (CONFIG_XEN_PMMU) which is
enabled for x86 and disabled for ARM.

CONFIG_XEN_VPMU, but yes.

DOM0 op doesn't exists for ARM and xensyms is not even plumbed. I would
make sure that XEN_SYMS is not enabled for ARM maybe adding the line
below in the kconfig?

depends on X86 && XEN_DOM0 && XENFS

Yes. Sorry for breakage. I usually build the hypervisor for ARM but clearly didn't do this for Linux.
