I still can't parse this. What does "up with it disabled at run time"
mean? And "... continues to kick through"? Probably some idiomatic
usage I'm just too old to understand :)

Please use the conventional citation format:

47591df50512 ("xen: Support Xen pv-domains using PAT")

A one-character typo in a SHA1 makes it completely useless, so it's
nice to have the summary line both for readability and a bit of
redundancy.
