Merge tag 'stable/for-linus-3.7-arm-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen

Pull ADM Xen support from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:

  Features:
   * Allow a Linux guest to boot as initial domain and as normal guests
     on Xen on ARM (specifically ARMv7 with virtualized extensions).  PV
     console, block and network frontend/backends are working.
  Bug-fixes:
   * Fix compile linux-next fallout.
   * Fix PVHVM bootup crashing.

  The Xen-unstable hypervisor (so will be 4.3 in a ~6 months), supports
  ARMv7 platforms.

  The goal in implementing this architecture is to exploit the hardware
  as much as possible.  That means use as little as possible of PV
  operations (so no PV MMU) - and use existing PV drivers for I/Os
  (network, block, console, etc).  This is similar to how PVHVM guests
  operate in X86 platform nowadays - except that on ARM there is no need
  for QEMU.  The end result is that we share a lot of the generic Xen
  drivers and infrastructure.

  Details on how to compile/boot/etc are available at this Wiki:

    http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_ARMv7_with_Virtualization_Extensions

  and this blog has links to a technical discussion/presentations on the
  overall architecture:

* Xen hypervisor device tree bindings



Xen ARM virtual platforms shall have a top-level "hypervisor" node with

the following properties:



- compatible:

	compatible = "xen,xen-<version>", "xen,xen";

  where <version> is the version of the Xen ABI of the platform.



- reg: specifies the base physical address and size of a region in

  memory where the grant table should be mapped to, using an

  HYPERVISOR_memory_op hypercall. The memory region is large enough to map

  the whole grant table (it is larger or equal to gnttab_max_grant_frames()).



- interrupts: the interrupt used by Xen to inject event notifications.

  A GIC node is also required.





Example (assuming #address-cells = <2> and #size-cells = <2>):



hypervisor {

	compatible = "xen,xen-4.3", "xen,xen";

	reg = <0 0xb0000000 0 0x20000>;

	interrupts = <1 15 0xf08>;

};
