To make it easier, I made a branch called

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen.git stable/bug-fixes-for-rc6

that has all the right magic sauce in it:

Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk (1):
Revert "xen/mmu: Add workaround "x86-64, mm: Put early page table high""

Sedat Dilek (1):
x86/mm: Fix section mismatch derived from native_pagetable_reserve()

Stefano Stabellini (1):
x86,xen: introduce x86_init.mapping.pagetable_reserve
