d4c6fa73fe Features:
- PV multiconsole support, so that there can be hvc1, hvc2, etc;
  - P-state and C-state power management driver that uploads said
    power management data to the hypervisor. It also inhibits cpufreq
    scaling drivers to load so that only the hypervisor can make power
    management decisions - fixing a weird perf bug.
  - Function Level Reset (FLR) support in the Xen PCI backend.
 Fixes:
  - Kconfig dependencies for Xen PV keyboard and video
  - Compile warnings and constify fixes
  - Change over to use percpu_xxx instead of this_cpu_xxx

Merge tag 'stable/for-linus-3.4-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen

Pull xen updates from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
 "which has three neat features:

   - PV multiconsole support, so that there can be hvc1, hvc2, etc; This
     can be used in HVM and in PV mode.

   - P-state and C-state power management driver that uploads said power
     management data to the hypervisor.  It also inhibits cpufreq
     scaling drivers to load so that only the hypervisor can make power
     management decisions - fixing a weird perf bug.

     There is one thing in the Kconfig that you won't like: "default y
     if (X86_ACPI_CPUFREQ = y || X86_POWERNOW_K8 = y)" (note, that it
     all depends on CONFIG_XEN which depends on CONFIG_PARAVIRT which by
     default is off).  I've a fix to convert that boolean expression
     into "default m" which I am going to post after the cpufreq git
     pull - as the two patches to make this work depend on a fix in Dave
     Jones's tree.

   - Function Level Reset (FLR) support in the Xen PCI backend.

  Fixes:

   - Kconfig dependencies for Xen PV keyboard and video
   - Compile warnings and constify fixes
   - Change over to use percpu_xxx instead of this_cpu_xxx"

Fix up trivial conflicts in drivers/tty/hvc/hvc_xen.c due to changes to
a removed commit.

The functions these get passed to have been taking pointers to const
since at least 2.6.16.

8ea11f7f11 xen/balloon: Move the registration from device to subsystem.
With git commit 0706802183
"xen-balloon: convert sysdev_class to a regular subsystem" we would
end up with the attributes being put in:

 /sys/devices/xen_memory0/target_kb
instead of
/sys/devices/system/xen_memory/xen_memory0/target_kb

Making the tools inable to deflate the kernel to make more space
for launching another guest and printing:
Error: Failed to query current memory allocation of dom0

0706802183 xen-balloon: convert sysdev_class to a regular subsystem
After all sysdev classes are ported to regular driver core entities, the
sysdev implementation will be entirely removed from the kernel.

6b71c52e7f xen: use static initializers in xen-balloon.c
There is no need to use dynamic initializaion, it just confuses the reader.
Switch to static initializers like its used in other files.

a50777c791 xen: tmem: self-ballooning and frontswap-selfshrinking
This patch introduces two in-kernel drivers for Xen transcendent memory
("tmem") functionality that complement cleancache and frontswap.  Both
use control theory to dynamically adjust and optimize memory utilization.
Selfballooning controls the in-kernel Xen balloon driver, targeting a goal
value (vm_committed_as), thus pushing less frequently used clean
page cache pages (through the cleancache code) into Xen tmem where
Xen can balance needs across all VMs residing on the physical machine.
Frontswap-selfshrinking controls the number of pages in frontswap,
driving it towards zero (effectively doing a partial swapoff) when
in-kernel memory pressure subsides, freeing up RAM for other VMs.

More detail is provided in the header comment of xen-selfballooning.c.

803eb047a2 xen-balloon: Move core balloon functionality out of module
The basic functionality of ballooning pages is useful for Xen drivers in
general. Rather than require a dependency on the balloon module, split
the functionality that is reused into the core. The balloon module is
still required to follow ballooning requests from xenstore or to view
balloon statistics in sysfs.
