Merge tag 'for-linus-4.3-rc0-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xen/tip
Pull xen updates from David Vrabel:
"Xen features and fixes for 4.3:
- Convert xen-blkfront to the multiqueue API
- [arm] Support binding event channels to different VCPUs.
- [x86] Support > 512 GiB in a PV guests (off by default as such a
guest cannot be migrated with the current toolstack).
- [x86] PMU support for PV dom0 (limited support for using perf with
Xen and other guests)"
