Merge tag 'stable/for-linus-3.7-rc0-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen
Pull Xen fixes from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
"This has four bug-fixes and one tiny feature that I forgot to put
initially in my tree due to oversight.
The feature is for kdump kernels to speed up the /proc/vmcore reading.
There is a ram_is_pfn helper function that the different platforms can
register for. We are now doing that.
The bug-fixes cover some embarrassing struct pv_cpu_ops variables
being set to NULL on Xen (but not baremetal). We had a similar issue
in the past with {write|read}_msr_safe and this fills the three
missing ones. The other bug-fix is to make the console output (hvc)
be capable of dealing with misbehaving backends and not fall flat on
its face. Lastly, a quirk for older XenBus implementations that came
with an ancient v3.4 hypervisor (so RHEL5 based) - reading of certain
non-existent attributes just hangs the guest during bootup - so we
take precaution of not doing that on such older installations.
Feature:
- Register a pfn_is_ram helper to speed up reading of /proc/vmcore.
Bug-fixes:
- Three pvops call for Xen were undefined causing BUG_ONs.
- Add a quirk so that the shutdown watches (used by kdump) are not
used with older Xen (3.4).
- Fix ungraceful state transition for the HVC console."

xen pv-on-hvm: add pfn_is_ram helper for kdump
Register pfn_is_ram helper speed up reading /proc/vmcore in the kdump
kernel. See commit message of 997c136f518c ("fs/proc/vmcore.c: add hook
to read_from_oldmem() to check for non-ram pages") for details.
It makes use of a new hvmop HVMOP_get_mem_type which was introduced in
xen 4.2 (23298:26413986e6e0) and backported to 4.1.1.
The new function is currently only enabled for reading /proc/vmcore.
Later it will be used also for the kexec kernel. Since that requires
more changes in the generic kernel make it static for the time being.
