* Add fast-EOI acking of interrupts (clear a bit instead of hypercall)
And bug-fixes:
* Fix CPU bring-up code missing a call to notify other subsystems.
* Fix reading /sys/hypervisor even if PVonHVM drivers are not loaded.
* In Xen ACPI processor driver: remove too verbose WARN messages, fix up
the Kconfig dependency to be a module by default, and add dependency on
CPU_FREQ.
* Disable CPU frequency drivers from loading when booting under Xen
(as we want the Xen ACPI processor to be used instead).
* Cleanups in tmem code.

* tag 'stable/for-linus-3.4-tag-two' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen:
xen/acpi: Fix Kconfig dependency on CPU_FREQ
xen: initialize platform-pci even if xen_emul_unplug=never
xen/smp: Fix bringup bug in AP code.
xen/acpi: Remove the WARN's as they just create noise.
xen/tmem: cleanup
xen: support pirq_eoi_map
xen/acpi-processor: Do not depend on CPU frequency scaling drivers.
xen/cpufreq: Disable the cpu frequency scaling drivers from loading.
provide disable_cpufreq() function to disable the API.
Use 'bool' for boolean variables. Do proper section placement.
Eliminate an unnecessary export.

Complete the renaming from "flush" to "invalidate" across
both tmem frontends (cleancache and frontswap) and both tmem backends
(Xen and zcache), as required by akpm.
This change is completely cosmetic.

[v11: Remove the frontswap part]

Provide the shim code for frontswap for Xen tmem even if the
frontswap patchset is not present yet. (The egg is before
the chicken.)

This patch provides a shim between the kernel-internal cleancache
API (see Documentation/mm/cleancache.txt) and the Xen Transcendent
Memory ABI (see http://oss.oracle.com/projects/tmem).
Xen tmem provides "hypervisor RAM" as an ephemeral page-oriented
pseudo-RAM store for cleancache pages, shared cleancache pages,
and frontswap pages. Tmem provides enterprise-quality concurrency,
full save/restore and live migration support, compression
and deduplication.
A presentation showing up to 8% faster performance and up to 52%
reduction in sectors read on a kernel compile workload, despite
aggressive in-kernel page reclamation ("self-ballooning") can be
found at:
