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)"

+Description:
+		Describes mode that Xen's performance-monitoring unit (PMU)
+		uses. Accepted values are
+			"off"  -- PMU is disabled
+			"self" -- The guest can profile itself
+			"hv"   -- The guest can profile itself and, if it is
+				  privileged (e.g. dom0), the hypervisor
+			"all" --  The guest can profile itself, the hypervisor
+				  and all other guests. Only available to
+				  privileged guests.
