Pull xen fixes from Juergen Gross:
"This contains some minor cleanups and fixes:

- a new knob for controlling scrubbing of pages returned by the Xen
balloon driver to the Xen hypervisor to address a boot performance
issue seen in large guests booted pre-ballooned

- a fix of a regression in the gntdev driver which made it impossible
to use fully virtualized guests (HVM guests) with a 4.19 based dom0

- a fix in Xen cpu hotplug functionality which could be triggered by
wrong admin commands (setting number of active vcpus to 0)

One further note: the patches have all been under test for several
days in another branch. This branch has been rebased in order to avoid
merge conflicts"

xen/balloon: add runtime control for scrubbing ballooned out pages

Scrubbing pages on initial balloon down can take some time, especially
in nested virtualization case (nested EPT is slow). When HVM/PVH guest is
started with memory= significantly lower than maxmem=, all the extra
pages will be scrubbed before returning to Xen. But since most of them
weren't used at all at that point, Xen needs to populate them first
(from populate-on-demand pool). In nested virt case (Xen inside KVM)
this slows down the guest boot by 15-30s with just 1.5GB needed to be
returned to Xen.

Add runtime parameter to enable/disable it, to allow initially disabling
scrubbing, then enable it back during boot (for example in initramfs).
Such usage relies on assumption that a) most pages ballooned out during
initial boot weren't used at all, and b) even if they were, very few
secrets are in the guest at that time (before any serious userspace
kicks in).
Convert CONFIG_XEN_SCRUB_PAGES to CONFIG_XEN_SCRUB_PAGES_DEFAULT (also
enabled by default), controlling default value for the new runtime
switch.

Merge remote-tracking branch 'airlied/drm-fixes' into drm-intel-next-queued

Back-merge from drm-fixes into drm-intel-next to sort out two things:

- interlaced support: -fixes contains a bugfix to correctly clear
interlaced configuration bits in case the bios sets up an interlaced
mode and we want to set up the progressive mode (current kernels
don't support interlaced). The actual feature work to support
interlaced depends upon (and conflicts with) this bugfix.

- forcewake voodoo to workaround missed IRQ issues: -fixes only enabled
this for ivybridge, but some recent bug reports indicate that we
need this on Sandybridge, too. But in a slightly different flavour
and with other fixes and reworks on top. Additionally there are some
forcewake cleanup patches heading to -next that would conflict with
currrent -fixes.
