Hi Andi,
This series of patches implements the Xen paravirt-ops interface.

This patch generally restricts itself to Xen-specific parts of the tree,
though it does make a few small changes elsewhere.

This is a fairly straightforward Xen implementation of smp_ops. One

Netfront's use of nh.raw and h.raw for storing page+offset is a bit

The find_or_create function calls alloc_page with the gfp_mask passed to it
