This series is available in git form at:
  http://xenbits.xen.org/git-http/people/andrewcoop/xen.git levelling-v4

There are no major changes from v3.  There were minor adjustmenst to the
feature dependency tree, OSXSAVE/OSPKE handling for PV guests and collection
of Acks/Reviews.

Most patches do now how Acks/Reviews.  The remaining patches are #1 (Rest),
#6-8,11-13,18 (x86), #20 (ARM), 26 (Toolstack).

The current cpuid code, both in the hypervisor and toolstack, has grown
organically for a very long time, and is flawed in many ways.  This series
focuses specifically on the fixing the bits pertaining to the visible
features, and I will be fixing other areas in future work (e.g. per-core,
per-package values, auditing of incoming migration values, etc.)

These changes alter the workflow of cpuid handling as follows:

Xen boots and evaluates its current capabilities.  It uses this information to
calculate the maximum featuresets it can provide to guests, and provides this
information for toolstack consumption.  A toolstack may then calculate a safe
set of features (taking into account migratability), and sets a guests cpuid
policy.  Xen then takes care of context switching the levelling state.

In particular, this means that PV guests may have different levels while
running on the same host, an option which was not previously available.
