Merge tag 'stable/for-linus-4.0-rc1-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xen/tip
Pull xen bugfixes from David Vrabel: "Xen regression and bug fixes for 4.0-rc1 - Fix two regressions introduced in 4.0-rc1 affecting PV/PVH guests in certain configurations. - Prevent pvscsi frontends bypassing backend checks. - Allow privcmd hypercalls to be preempted even on kernel with voluntary preemption. This fixes soft-lockups with long running toolstack hypercalls (e.g., when creating/destroying large domains)" * tag 'stable/for-linus-4.0-rc1-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xen/tip: x86/xen: Initialize cr4 shadow for 64-bit PV(H) guests xen-scsiback: mark pvscsi frontend request consumed only after last read x86/xen: allow privcmd hypercalls to be preempted x86/xen: Make sure X2APIC_ENABLE bit of MSR_IA32_APICBASE is not set
