applied all three fix patches to tip/x86/xen, thanks Jeremy.
i have also cherry-picked them into x86/urgent, to push v2.6.26-wards if
they passes testing. The commits are [in that order]:
# x86/urgent: 4653938: xen: Use wmb instead of rmb in xen_evtchn_do_upcall().
# x86/urgent: 05345b0: xen: mask unwanted pte bits in __supported_pte_mask
# x86/urgent: ebb9cfe: xen: don't drop NX bit
