Merge tag 'stable/for-linus-3.4-rc4-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen

Pull Xen fixes from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
 "Some of these had been in existence since the 2.6.27 days, some since
  3.0 - and some due to new features added in v3.4.

  The one that is most interesting is David's one - in the low-level
  assembler code we had be checking events needlessly.  With his patch
  now we do it when the appropriate flag is set - with the added benefit
  that we can process events faster.  Stefano's is fixing a mistake
  where the Linux IRQ numbers were ACK-ed instead of the Xen IRQ,
  resulting in missing interrupts.  The other ones are bootup related
  that can show up on various hardware."

 - In the low-level assembler code we would jump to check events even if
   none were present.  This incorrect behavior had been there since
   2.6.27 days!
 - When using the fast-path for ACK-ing interrupts we were using the
   Linux IRQ numbers instead of the Xen ones (and they can differ) and
   missing interrupts in process.
 - Fix bootup crashes when ACPI hotplug CPUs were present and they would
   expand past the set number of CPUs we were allocated.
 - Deal with broken BIOSes when uploading C-states to the hypervisor.
 - Disable the cpuid check for MWAIT_LEAF if the ACPI PAD driver is
   loaded.  If the ACPI PAD driver is used it will crash, so lets not
   export the functionality so the ACPI PAD driver won't load.

* tag 'stable/for-linus-3.4-rc4-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen:
  xen: correctly check for pending events when restoring irq flags
  xen/acpi: Workaround broken BIOSes exporting non-existing C-states.
  xen/smp: Fix crash when booting with ACPI hotplug CPUs.
  xen: use the pirq number to check the pirq_eoi_map
  xen/enlighten: Disable MWAIT_LEAF so that acpi-pad won't be loaded.
