Xen PV guests have been the only ones using it and now they don't.
Could you elaborate on the 'now they don't' please?

Is Xen not doing it? Did it do it in the past?

Is it because the Linux code paths will never run to this in Xen PV mode?
Is that due to other patches? If so please mention the name
of the other patches.. (so if somebody is thinking to put the
other patches on the stable train they should also take these ones).

Since this is due to the first patch in the series I don't know its commitID. Should I just refer to patch title?
