Subject: [GIT] Xen pvhvm driver, emulated device unplug fixes

Hi Linus,

These patches make it possible to inhibit the Xen emulated device unplug
on the kernel command line (mostly "Just In Case") and renames
xen_emul_unplug=ignore to the clearer xen_emul_unplug=unnecessary.

Since it changes the name of a command line option we'd like to get it
in before 2.6.36 proper.

The third changeset is a pure cleanup which you could ignore for 2.6.36
if you wanted. I can resend without if you prefer.

Ian.

The following changes since commit da5cabf80e2433131bf0ed8993abc0f7ea618c73:
Linus Torvalds (1):
Linux 2.6.36-rc1

are available in the git repository at:

git://xenbits.xensource.com/people/ianc/linux-2.6.git for-upstream/pvhvm

Ian Campbell (3):
xen: pvhvm: allow user to request no emulated device unplug
xen: pvhvm: rename xen_emul_unplug=ignore to =unnnecessary
xen: pvhvm: make it clearer that XEN_UNPLUG_* define bits in a bitfield
