    Linux 2.6.39-rc5

The git pull contains two fixes that fix the last remaining issue Linux 2.6.39 not booting with Xen. This particular git pull fixes the bootup regression introduced by "x86-64, mm: Put early page table high" (git commit 4b239f458c229de044d6905c2b0f9fe16ed9e01e). Stefano and Yinghai (author of the regression) have been working on patches fixing this regression
when the patch was still in x86/mm-core before the 2.6.39 merge window openned.

But we haven't come up with an acceptable general solution yet, so this patchset provides a workaround for the problem.

There are couple of ways of fixing this:
- use pvops hooks: http://marc.info/?i=1302607192-21355-2-git-send-email-stefano.stabellini@eu.citrix.com
- have a workaround in Xen MMU's early bootup code (which is what this
git pull has).
- or remove the patch introducing the regression altogether.

Foremost important is to fix the regression, and the patches in the GIT pull achieve that. I want to remove this workaround patch when we hammer out more appropriate semantics for the page table creation - but that will take some time and the runway to do that in 2.6.39 is gone.

Hence asking for these two patches to be pulled.
