[XEND] Apply the domain cpumask fully to every vcpu in the domain.
Apply the domain cpumask to each vcpu rather than mapping vcpus to
cpus in the list. This is more inline with the comments for the
cpus parameter and also allows the credit scheduler to balance
vcpus within the domain cpumask.
This patch fixes 2 vmxassist bugs to boot Vista:
1) When switching from VM86_REAL_TO_PROTECTED to VM86_PROTECTED,
protected_mode() sets return eip to switch_to_protected_mode and
segments to vmxassist's. But in later set_mode(), it still consides
these segments are guest's (Bios at this time) and use its gdt table
to calculate address(), which results in segment limitation fault. 2) In
current vmxassist, when entering VM86_PROTECTED_TO_REAL, we need to
decode every instruction manually until we catch instructions like
jmpl to reset cs to really return to real mode. Vista boot manager uses
more instructions.

Add a series file to order the patches in patches/linux-<version>
The initial ordering is the same as produced by the previous shell
globbing method.
The series file is a simple list of patch files relative to the
patches/linux-<version>/ directory. We do not support comments,
trailing directives (e.g. "-pN") or blank lines. Apart from these
restrictions the series file should be compatible with patch queue
management tools such as quilt.

[POWERPC] Support console=comX option for Xen console.
Let Xen/PPC support the console=comX option that Xen/x86 uses, so one
need simply supply CMDLINE="console=com2" on the make invocation to get
proper use of the physical serial port on a JS21.
We do this by pruning all serial devices from the device tree, and then
initializing both com1 and com2 (like arch/x86/setup.c does).
Note that `setenv direct-serial? true; nvupdate' should in theory help
with this, but it does not work at present, and will only be supported
in some future version of SLOF. Regardless, it is useful to support the
console=comX option, since there will always be environments where it is
difficult to get access to the firmware console.
This patch gets ia64 building again on xen-unstable.hg due to the
addition of the uint64_t type in public/arch-ia64.h. I also cleaned
up directly including this file versus public/xen.h as ia64 seems to be
the only arch using it directly.

[VMXASSIST] Fix linker script to define start/end section labels
in the usual idiomatic way. This avoids some BSS symbols being

[LINUX][ Fix x86/64 entry.S to use paravirtualized sti/cli properly.

with XEN_BLOCK_EVENTS
- one instance of slightly wrong placement (without resulting in ill
behavior, but needlessly making the diff to native more complex)

- free domain memory as a resource not as domain

[NET] linux: Kill the WARN_ON() calls for checksum fixups.
This changeset is from upstream Linux. We need it so Xen users
using NAT are not unnecessarily alarmed by these WARN_ON errors
especially since they're not in a position to do anything about
it. Original changelog:
[NET]: Kill the WARN_ON() calls for checksum fixups.
We have a more complete solution in the works, involving
the seperation of CHECKSUM_HW on input vs. output, and
having netfilter properly do incremental checksums.
But that is a very involved patch and is thus 2.6.19
material.
What we have now is infinitely better than the past,
wherein all TSO packets were dropped due to corrupt
checksums as soon at the NAT module was loaded. At
least now, the checksums do get fixed up, it just
isn't the cleanest nor most optimal solution.

[XEN] Add a warning about changeable size of shared_info structure.
sizeof(shared_info_t) can change even in compatible hypervisor
versions.
Add a clear warning about this, and fix the few places relying on it.
In addition, add some padding to arch_shared_info, to allow future
additions to the structure without breaking known offsets of members
following it in the shared info.
vif-nat and vif-route need to know domU ethX IP addresses in order to set
up the appropriate routes.The new network test infrastructure is not
providing the IP address on the vif line in /tmp/xm-test.conf; adding
it turns out to be a one-liner.
Tested with xm-test running with -bridge, -route, and -nat network
scripts.
By replacing dev_alloc_skb with alloc_skb we need to do the 16-byte
reservation ourselves. Also, it's unnecessary to align the size
when calling alloc_skb since the alignment is an implementation
detail of alloc_skb and it already takes care of it for us.

[POWERPC] start-cpu has no return code
According to this document:
PowerPC Processor binding to: IEEE 1275-1994
Standard for Boot (Initialization, Configuration) Firmware
Revision: 2.1 (Approved Version)

The start-cpu client interface has the following signature:
start-cpu
IN: nodeid, pc, arg
OUT: none
This patch reflects that, and makes us stop seeing a bogus OF_FAILURE if
we do actually check the return code of of_start_cpu. Tested on JS20
