Applied 1-5 to kvm-x86 xen.  Please take a look and test the result (patches 1
and 4 in particular).  I didn't _intend_ to make any functional changes outside
of fixing up the unlock goof, but I'd greatly appreciate extra eyeballs,
especially this close to the merge window.

Oh, and can you look at v2[*] of Vitaly's fixes for xen_shinfo_test?  I'd like
to get that applied soonish (I see intermittent failures), but I'm nowhere near
competent enough with clocks to give it a proper review.

Thanks!
