Merge tag 'stable/for-linus-3.12-rc0-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xen/tip

Pull Xen updates from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
 "A couple of features and a ton of bug-fixes.  There is also some
  maintership changes.  Jeremy is enjoying the full-time work at the
  startup and as much as he would love to help - he can't find the time.
  I have a bunch of other things that I promised to work on - paravirt
  diet, get SWIOTLB working everywhere, etc, but haven't been able to
  find the time.

  As such both David Vrabel and Boris Ostrovsky have graciously
  volunteered to help with the maintership role.  They will keep the lid
  on regressions, bug-fixes, etc.  I will be in the background to help -
  but eventually there will be less of me doing the Xen GIT pulls and
  more of them.  Stefano is still doing the ARM/ARM64 and will continue
  on doing so.

  Features:
   - Xen Trusted Platform Module (TPM) frontend driver - with the
     backend in MiniOS.
   - Scalability improvements in event channel.
   - Two extra Xen co-maintainers (David, Boris) and one going away (Jeremy)

  Bug-fixes:
   - Make the 1:1 mapping work during early bootup on selective regions.
   - Add scratch page to balloon driver to deal with unexpected code
     still holding on stale pages.
   - Allow NMIs on PV guests (64-bit only)
   - Remove unnecessary TLB flush in M2P code.
   - Fixes duplicate callbacks in Xen granttable code.
   - Fixes in PRIVCMD_MMAPBATCH ioctls to allow retries
   - Fix for events being lost due to rescheduling on different VCPUs.
