Merge tag 'stable/for-linus-3.18-rc0-tag' of git://git./linux/kernel/git/xen/tip

Pull Xen updates from David Vrabel:
 "Features and fixes:

   - Add pvscsi frontend and backend drivers.
   - Remove _PAGE_IOMAP PTE flag, freeing it for alternate uses.
   - Try and keep memory contiguous during PV memory setup (reduces
     SWIOTLB usage).
   - Allow front/back drivers to use threaded irqs.
   - Support large initrds in PV guests.
   - Fix PVH guests in preparation for Xen 4.5"
