instead of putting it into the x86 tree i've split out the mm patch into
a separate, -git based isolated topic branch (tip/core/xen) - the
coordinates for it are below. The commit ID is:

4ef2d41: mm: define USE_SPLIT_PTLOCKS rather than repeating expression

Andrew, any objection to this approach? If it's fine to you then after
testing this commit will eventually go to linux-next via
tip/auto-core-next. (the x86 tree merges this tree and i've applied the
Xen fix after that merge.)
