[PATCH 08/13] Fix possible NULL pointer dereference in print_IO_APIC
From: Stefano Stabellini <stefano.stabellini(a)eu.citrix.com> Make sure chip_data is not NULL before accessing it (the VIRQ_TIMER handler and virq handlers in general don't have any chip_data).

[PATCH 10/13] Do not try to disable hpet if it hasn't been initialized before
From: Stefano Stabellini <stefano.stabellini(a)eu.citrix.com> hpet_disable is called unconditionally on machine reboot if hpet support is compiled in the kernel. hpet_disable only checks if the machine is hpet capable but doesn't make sure that hpet has been initialized.

[PATCH 12/13] Unplug emulated disks and nics
From: Stefano Stabellini <stefano.stabellini(a)eu.citrix.com> Add a xen_emul_unplug command line option to the kernel to unplug xen emulated disks and nics. Set the default value of xen_emul_unplug depending on whether or not the Xen PV frontends and the Xen platform PCI driver have been compiled for this kernel... 21 Jun 2010 13:33

[PATCH 0/12] PV on HVM Xen
Hi all, this is another update on the PV on HVM Xen series; a list of changes compared to the previous version follows: - the bug caused by modprobing xen frontend modules when xenbus is not initialized has been fixed: now xenbus is always initialized during postcore_initcall, before device drivers are initializ... 21 Jun 2010 12:27

2.6.35-rc3 regression: IBM Maia system is unbootable [ACPI related?]
The system in question has a set of root bridges, with the CD rom (which is seen) being on bus 0 and the SCSI controller, which doesn't show up being on bus 1 (with several other things on busses > 1). The system uses ACPI to detect the multiple bridges, so it seems that this failure in 2.6.35-rc3: ACPI: Core ... 29 Jun 2010 12:57

[PATCH] X86: intel_ips, check for kzalloc properly
Or what about this one? -- Stanse found that there are two NULL checks missing in ips_monitor. So check their value too and bail out appropriately if the allocation failed. While at it, add one more kfree to the fail path. It is not necessary now, but may be needed in the future when a new allocation is add... 21 Jun 2010 12:27
