Linus has merged xen/tip yesterday and building ARM with CONFIG_XEN=y is
now broken.

Is there any plan to push this patch (without the first half of course
:)) or reverting the following commit:

Sorry, I couldn't add this patch to the xen tree at the time since the
change was on a different tree and then I forgot about it.

Now applied to devel/for-linus-3.15.
