Differences with v1:
- The patch serie is re-arranged in a way that it helps reviews, following
   a plan by Thomas Gleixner
- The PVOPS nomenclature is not used as it is not correct
- The front-end message is adjusted with feedback by Thomas Gleixner,

This is much simpler to read and review. Just have a look at the
diffstats of the two series:

  6 files changed,  9 insertions(+),  8 deletions(-)
  6 files changed, 11 insertions(+),  9 deletions(-)
  5 files changed, 50 insertions(+),  2 deletions(-)
  6 files changed,  2 insertions(+), 65 deletions(-)
  1 files changed,  5 insertions(+),  0 deletions(-)

versus

  6 files changed, 10 insertions(+),  9 deletions(-)
  6 files changed, 11 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-)
  5 files changed,  3 insertions(+),  3 deletions(-)
  6 files changed,  4 insertions(+), 20 deletions(-)
  1 files changed,  5 insertions(+),  0 deletions(-)

The overall result is basically the same, but it's way simpler to look
at obvious and well done patches than checking whether a subtle copy
and paste bug happened in 3/5 of the first version. Copy and paste is
the #1 cause for subtle bugs. :)

I'm waiting for the ack of Xen folks before taking it into tip.
I've some extra patches that modify the new "paginig_init" in the Xen
code that I am going to propose for v3.7 - so will have some merge
conflicts. Let me figure that out and also run this set of patches
(and also the previous one .. which I think you didn't have a
chance to look since you were on vacation?) on an overnight
Which previous one ?

This one:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/8/21/369

but I would like to repost the patch serie skipping the referral to PVOPS in the commit logs, I will do so right now, so please wait for another patch serie.
