    Linus Torvalds authored
    Pull xen features and fixes from David Vrabel:
    
     - Reworked handling for foreign (grant mapped) pages to simplify the
       code, enable a number of additional use cases and fix a number of
       long-standing bugs.
    
     - Prefer the TSC over the Xen PV clock when dom0 (and the TSC is
       stable).
    
     - Assorted other cleanup and minor bug fixes.
