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.
