Merge tag 'stable/for-linus-3.12-rc0-tag-two' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xen/tip

Pull Xen bug-fixes from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
 "This pull I usually do after rc1 is out but because we have a nice
  amount of fixes, some bootup related fixes for ARM, and it is early in
  the cycle we figured to do it now to help with tracking of potential
  regressions.

  The simple ones are the ARM ones - one of the patches fell through the
  cracks, other fixes a bootup issue (unconditionally using Xen
  functions).  Then a fix for a regression causing preempt count being
  off (patch causing this went in v3.12).

  Lastly are the fixes to make Xen PVHVM guests use PV ticketlocks (Xen
  PV already does).

  The enablement of that was supposed to be part of the x86 spinlock
  merge in commit 816434ec ("The biggest change here are
  paravirtualized ticket spinlocks (PV spinlocks), which bring a nice
  speedup on various benchmarks...") but unfortunatly it would cause
  hang when booting Xen PVHVM guests.  Yours truly got all of the bugs
  fixed last week and they (six of them) are included in this pull.

  Bug-fixes:
   - Boot on ARM without using Xen unconditionally
   - On Xen ARM don't run cpuidle/cpufreq
   - Fix regression in balloon driver, preempt count warnings
   - Fixes to make PVHVM able to use pv ticketlock.
   - Revert Xen PVHVM disabling pv ticketlock (aka, re-enable pv ticketlocks)"
