good


The attached diff to be squashed for the new version. One thing remains:

checkpatch.pl says regarding drivers/xen/grant-dma-ops.c:

WARNING: added, moved or deleted file(s), does MAINTAINERS need updating?
#151:
new file mode 100644


Which, I assume, this is not an issue as new file falls under XEN 
HYPERVISOR INTERFACE maintainership?
