    Pull xen updates from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
     "which has three neat features:
    
       - PV multiconsole support, so that there can be hvc1, hvc2, etc; This
         can be used in HVM and in PV mode.
    
       - P-state and C-state power management driver that uploads said power
         management data to the hypervisor.  It also inhibits cpufreq
         scaling drivers to load so that only the hypervisor can make power
         management decisions - fixing a weird perf bug.
    
         There is one thing in the Kconfig that you won't like: "default y
         if (X86_ACPI_CPUFREQ = y || X86_POWERNOW_K8 = y)" (note, that it
         all depends on CONFIG_XEN which depends on CONFIG_PARAVIRT which by
         default is off).  I've a fix to convert that boolean expression
         into "default m" which I am going to post after the cpufreq git
         pull - as the two patches to make this work depend on a fix in Dave
         Jones's tree.
    
       - Function Level Reset (FLR) support in the Xen PCI backend.
    
      Fixes:
    
       - Kconfig dependencies for Xen PV keyboard and video
       - Compile warnings and constify fixes
       - Change over to use percpu_xxx instead of this_cpu_xxx"
    
    Fix up trivial conflicts in drivers/tty/hvc/hvc_xen.c due to changes to
    a removed commit.
