This tree didn't compile for me on x86-64.

After adding the appended patch it started to compile, but it doesn't boot
(hangs very early, before any messages can get to the console).

I'll bisect tomorrow if I have the time.

Thanks,
Rafael

    x86_64: fix non-paravirt compilation
    
    Make sure SWAPGS and PARAVIRT_ADJUST_EXCEPTION_FRAME are properly
    defined when CONFIG_PARAVIRT is off.
    
    Fixes Ingo's build failure:

This problem is fixed by applying the appended patch.

    x86: setup_arch() && early_ioremap_init()
    
    Looks like the setup.c unification missed the early_ioremap init from
    the early_ioremap unification.  Unconditionally call early_ioremap_init().
    
    needed for "x86/paravirt: groundwork for 64-bit Xen support".
