I tried to merge it on top of 3.14-rc1 + stable/for-linus-3.14 (which
has the revert of " xen/grant-table: Avoid m2p_override during mapping"


And I get:
konrad at phenom:~/linux$ git merge stefano/lost_ticks_9
Auto-merging drivers/xen/Makefile
CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in drivers/xen/Makefile
Auto-merging arch/x86/xen/time.c
CONFLICT (modify/delete): arch/ia64/xen/time.c deleted in HEAD and
modified in stefano/lost_ticks_9. Version stefano/lost_ticks_9 of
arch/ia64/xen/time.c left in tree.

CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in arch/arm/xen/enlighten.c
Auto-merging arch/arm/Kconfig
CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in arch/arm/Kconfig
Automatic merge failed; fix conflicts and then commit the result.


I presume that is mostly due to David's FIFO queue patches.

Could you kindly rebase it on top 3.14-rc1 and also tack on
Catalin Marinas Ack on the patches?

Thank you!
