Merge tag 'for-linus-4.8-rc0-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xen/tip
Pull xen updates from David Vrabel: "Features and fixes for 4.8-rc0: - ACPI support for guests on ARM platforms. - Generic steal time support for arm and x86. - Support cases where kernel cpu is not Xen VCPU number (e.g., if in-guest kexec is used). - Use the system workqueue instead of a custom workqueue in various places" * tag 'for-linus-4.8-rc0-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xen/tip: (47 commits) xen: add static initialization of steal_clock op to xen_time_ops xen/pvhvm: run xen_vcpu_setup() for the boot CPU xen/evtchn: use xen_vcpu_id mapping xen/events: fifo: use xen_vcpu_id mapping xen/events: use xen_vcpu_id mapping in events_base x86/xen: use xen_vcpu_id mapping when pointing vcpu_info to shared_info x86/xen: use xen_vcpu_id mapping for HYPERVISOR_vcpu_op xen: introduce xen_vcpu_id mapping x86/acpi: store ACPI ids from MADT for future usage x86/xen: update cpuid.h from Xen-4.7 xen/evtchn: add IOCTL_EVTCHN_RESTRICT xen-blkback: really don't leak mode property xen-blkback: constify instance of "struct attribute_group" xen-blkfront: prefer xenbus_scanf() over xenbus_gather() xen-blkback: prefer xenbus_scanf() over xenbus_gather() xen: support runqueue steal time on xen arm/xen: add support for vm_assist hypercall xen: update xen headers xen-pciback: drop superfluous variables xen-pciback: short-circuit read path used for merging write values ...
