Merge tag 'stable/for-linus-3.7-x86-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen
Pull Xen update from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk: "Features: - When hotplugging PCI devices in a PV guest we can allocate Xen-SWIOTLB later. - Cleanup Xen SWIOTLB. - Support pages out grants from HVM domains in the backends. - Support wild cards in xen-pciback.hide=(BDF) arguments. - Update grant status updates with upstream hypervisor. - Boot PV guests with more than 128GB. - Cleanup Xen MMU code/add comments. - Obtain XENVERS using a preferred method. - Lay out generic changes to support Xen ARM. - Allow privcmd ioctl for HVM (used to do only PV). - Do v2 of mmap_batch for privcmd ioctls. - If hypervisor saves the LED keyboard light - we will now instruct the kernel about its state. Fixes: - More fixes to Xen PCI backend for various calls/FLR/etc. - With more than 4GB in a 64-bit PV guest disable native SWIOTLB. - Fix up smatch warnings. - Fix up various return values in privmcmd and mm." * tag 'stable/for-linus-3.7-x86-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen: (48 commits) xen/pciback: Restore the PCI config space after an FLR. xen-pciback: properly clean up after calling pcistub_device_find() xen/vga: add the xen EFI video mode support xen/x86: retrieve keyboard shift status flags from hypervisor. xen/gndev: Xen backend support for paged out grant targets V4. xen-pciback: support wild cards in slot specifications xen/swiotlb: Fix compile warnings when using plain integer instead of NULL pointer. xen/swiotlb: Remove functions not needed anymore. xen/pcifront: Use Xen-SWIOTLB when initting if required. xen/swiotlb: For early initialization, return zero on success. xen/swiotlb: Use the swiotlb_late_init_with_tbl to init Xen-SWIOTLB late when PV PCI is used. xen/swiotlb: Move the error strings to its own function. xen/swiotlb: Move the nr_tbl determination in its own function. xen/arm: compile and run xenbus xen: resynchronise grant table status codes with upstream xen/privcmd: return -EFAULT on error xen/privcmd: Fix mmap batch ioctl error status copy back. xen/privcmd: add PRIVCMD_MMAPBATCH_V2 ioctl xen/mm: return more precise error from xen_remap_domain_range() xen/mmu: If the revector fails, don't attempt to revector anything else. ...

+ * do I think that it is implied that the page table space is the
+ * range [pt_base, pt_base + nt_pt_frames), whereas that
+ * range here indeed is [pt_base - 2, pt_base - 2 + nt_pt_frames),
+ * which - without a priori knowledge - the kernel would have
