These are some extra ones I put in since yesterday:

Dan Magenheimer (1):
      xen: Fix selfballooning and ensure it doesn't go too far

Daniel De Graaf (3):
      xenbus: Fix loopback event channel assuming domain 0
      xenbus: don't rely on xen_initial_domain to detect local xenstore
      xen/gntdev: Fix sleep-inside-spinlock

Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk (1):
      xen/blkback: Check for proper operation.
