Linus,

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xen/tip.git for-linus-4.19c-rc4-tag

xen: fixes for 4.19-rc4

It contains some minor cleanups and fixes and:

- a new knob for controlling scrubbing of pages returned by the Xen
balloon driver to the Xen hypervisor to address a boot performance
issue seen in large guests booted pre-ballooned

- a fix of a regression in the gntdev driver which made it impossible
to use fully virtualized guests (HVM guests) with a 4.19 based dom0

- a fix in Xen cpu hotplug functionality which could be triggered by
wrong admin commands (setting number of active vcpus to 0)

One further note: the patches have all been under test for several days
in another branch. This branch has been rebased in order to avoid merge
conflicts.


Thanks.

Juergen
