Note the changes from 2.6.18-xen CPU hotplugging:
A vcpu_down request from the remote admin via Xenbus both hotunplugs the
CPU, and disables it by removing it from the cpu_present map, and removing
its entry in /sys.
A vcpu_up request from the remote admin only re-enables the CPU, and does
not immediately bring the CPU up. A udev event is emitted, which can be
caught by the user if he wishes to automatically re-up CPUs when available,
or implement a more complex policy.

Measure how long spinlocks spend blocked. Also rename some fields to
be more consistent.

If spin_lock is called in an interrupts-enabled context, we can safely
enable interrupts while spinning. We don't bother for the actual spin
loop, but if we timeout and fall back to blocking, it's definitely
worthwhile enabling interrupts if possible.

Add support for exporting statistics on mmu updates, multicall
batching and pv spinlocks into debugfs. The base path is xen/ and
each subsystem adds its own directory: mmu, multicalls, spinlocks.
In each directory, writing 1 to "zero_stats" will cause the
corresponding stats to be zeroed the next time they're updated.

A spinlock can be interrupted while spinning, so make sure we preserve
the previous lock of interest if we're taking a lock from within an
interrupt handler.
We also need to deal with the case where the blocking path gets
interrupted between testing to see if the lock is free and actually
blocking. If we get interrupted there and end up in the state where
the lock is free but the irq isn't pending, then we'll block
indefinitely in the hypervisor. This fix is to make sure that any
nested lock-takers will always leave the irq pending if there's any
chance the outer lock became free.

ftrace requires certain low-level code, like spinlocks and timestamps,
to be compiled without -pg in order to avoid infinite recursion. This
patch splits out the core paravirt spinlocks and the Xen spinlocks
into separate files which can be compiled without -pg.
Also do xen/time.c while we're about it. As a result, we can now use
ftrace within a Xen domain.
