- Boot on ARM without using Xen unconditionally
- On Xen ARM don't run cpuidle/cpufreq
- Fix regression in balloon driver, preempt count warnings
- Fixes to make PVHVM able to use pv ticketlock.
- Revert Xen PVHVM disabling pv ticketlock (aka, re-enable pv ticketlocks)

Pull Xen bug-fixes from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
"This pull I usually do after rc1 is out but because we have a nice
amount of fixes, some bootup related fixes for ARM, and it is early in
the cycle we figured to do it now to help with tracking of potential
regressions.
The simple ones are the ARM ones - one of the patches fell through the
cracks, other fixes a bootup issue (unconditionally using Xen
functions). Then a fix for a regression causing preempt count being
off (patch causing this went in v3.12).
Lastly are the fixes to make Xen PVHVM guests use PV ticketlocks (Xen
PV already does).
The enablement of that was supposed to be part of the x86 spinlock
merge in commit 816434ec4a ("The biggest change here are
paravirtualized ticket spinlocks (PV spinlocks), which bring a nice
speedup on various benchmarks...") but unfortunatly it would cause
hang when booting Xen PVHVM guests. Yours truly got all of the bugs
fixed last week and they (six of them) are included in this pull.
Bug-fixes:
- Boot on ARM without using Xen unconditionally
- On Xen ARM don't run cpuidle/cpufreq
- Fix regression in balloon driver, preempt count warnings
- Fixes to make PVHVM able to use pv ticketlock.
- Revert Xen PVHVM disabling pv ticketlock (aka, re-enable pv ticketlocks)"
