994025caba xen: add debugfs support
Add support for exporting statistics on mmu updates, multicall
batching and pv spinlocks into debugfs. The base path is xen/ and
each subsystem adds its own directory: mmu, multicalls, spinlocks.

In each directory, writing 1 to "zero_stats" will cause the
corresponding stats to be zeroed the next time they're updated.

400d34944c xen: add mechanism to extend existing multicalls
Some Xen hypercalls accept an array of operations to work on.  In
general this is because its more efficient for the hypercall to the
work all at once rather than as separate hypercalls (even batched as a
multicall).

This patch adds a mechanism (xen_mc_extend_args()) to allocate more
argument space to the last-issued multicall, in order to extend its
argument list.

The user of this mechanism is xen/mmu.c, which uses it to extend the
args array of mmu_update.  This is particularly valuable when doing
the update for a large mprotect, which goes via
ptep_modify_prot_commit(), but it also manages to batch updates to
pgd/pmds as well.

a122d6230e xen: add some debug output for failed multicalls
Multicalls are expected to never fail, and the normal response to a
failed multicall is very terse.  In the interests of better
debuggability, add some more verbose output.  It may be worth turning
this off once it all seems more tested.

91e0c5f3da xen: add batch completion callbacks
This adds a mechanism to register a callback function to be called once
a batch of hypercalls has been issued.  This is typically used to unlock
things which must remain locked until the hypercall has taken place.

[ Stable folks: pre-req for 2.6.23 bugfix "xen: deal with stale cr3
  values when unpinning pagetables" ]
