This patch implement real Xen ACPI cpu hotplug driver as module.
When loaded, it replaces Xen stub driver.

For booting existed cpus, the driver enumerates them.
For hotadded cpus, which added at runtime and notify OS via
device or container event, the driver is invoked to add them,
parsing cpu information, hypercalling to Xen hypervisor to add
them, and finally setting up new /sys interface for them.

This patch implements real Xen acpi memory hotplug driver as module.
When loaded, it replaces Xen stub driver.

When an acpi memory device hotadd event occurs, it notifies OS and
invokes notification callback, adding related memory device and parsing
memory information, finally hypercall to xen hypervisor to add memory.

<content type='text'>
This patch create a file (xen-stub.c) for Xen stub drivers.
Xen stub drivers are used to reserve space for Xen drivers, i.e.
memory hotplug and cpu hotplug, and to block native drivers loaded,
so that real Xen drivers can be modular and loaded on demand.

This patch is specific for Xen memory hotplug (other Xen logic
can add stub drivers on their own). The xen stub driver will
occupied earlier via subsys_initcall (than native memory hotplug
driver via module_init and so blocking native). Later real Xen
memory hotplug logic will unregister the stub driver and register
itself to take effect on demand.

Pull Xen updates from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
 - Add necessary infrastructure to make balloon driver work under ARM.
 - Add /dev/xen/privcmd interfaces to work with ARM and PVH.
 - Improve Xen PCIBack wild-card parsing.
 - Add Xen ACPI PAD (Processor Aggregator) support - so can offline/
   online sockets depending on the power consumption.
 - PVHVM + kexec = use an E820_RESV region for the shared region so we
   don't overwrite said region during kexec reboot.
 - Cleanups, compile fixes.

Fix up some trivial conflicts due to the balloon driver now working on
ARM, and there were changes next to the previous work-arounds that are
now gone.

The code is now in a state where can just enable it.

Drop the *_xenballloned_pages duplicates since these are now supplied
by the balloon code.

PAD is acpi Processor Aggregator Device which provides a control point
that enables the platform to perform specific processor configuration
and control that applies to all processors in the platform.

This patch is to implement Xen acpi pad logic. When running under Xen
virt platform, native pad driver would not work. Instead Xen pad driver,
a self-contained and thin logic level, would take over acpi pad logic.

When acpi pad notify OSPM, xen pad logic intercept and parse _PUR object
to get the expected idle cpu number, and then hypercall to hypervisor.
Xen hypervisor would then do the rest work, say, core parking, to idle
specific number of cpus on its own policy.

hypervisors and they only run under x86), and also b/c
we get:

While copying the argument structures in HYPERVISOR_event_channel_op()
and HYPERVISOR_physdev_op() into the local variable is sufficiently
safe even if the actual structure is smaller than the container one,
copying back eventual output values the same way isn't: This may
collide with on-stack variables (particularly "rc") which may change
between the first and second memcpy() (i.e. the second memcpy() could
discard that change).

Move the fallback code into out-of-line functions, and handle all of
the operations known by this old a hypervisor individually: Some don't
require copying back anything at all, and for the rest use the
individual argument structures' sizes rather than the container's.

Pull ADM Xen support from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:

  Features:
   * Allow a Linux guest to boot as initial domain and as normal guests
     on Xen on ARM (specifically ARMv7 with virtualized extensions).  PV
     console, block and network frontend/backends are working.
  Bug-fixes:
   * Fix compile linux-next fallout.
   * Fix PVHVM bootup crashing.

  The Xen-unstable hypervisor (so will be 4.3 in a ~6 months), supports
  ARMv7 platforms.

  The goal in implementing this architecture is to exploit the hardware
  as much as possible.  That means use as little as possible of PV
  operations (so no PV MMU) - and use existing PV drivers for I/Os
  (network, block, console, etc).  This is similar to how PVHVM guests
  operate in X86 platform nowadays - except that on ARM there is no need
  for QEMU.  The end result is that we share a lot of the generic Xen
  drivers and infrastructure.

  Details on how to compile/boot/etc are available at this Wiki:

    http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_ARMv7_with_Virtualization_Extensions

  and this blog has links to a technical discussion/presentations on the
  overall architecture:
