* 'stable/for-linus-fixes-3.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen: xen-gntalloc: signedness bug in add_grefs() xen-gntalloc: integer overflow in gntalloc_ioctl_alloc() xen-gntdev: integer overflow in gntdev_alloc_map() xen:pvhvm: enable PVHVM VCPU placement when using more than 32 CPUs. xen/balloon: Avoid OOM when requesting highmem xen: Remove hanging references to CONFIG_XEN_PLATFORM_PCI xen: map foreign pages for shared rings by updating the PTEs directly
