2.6.32-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Ian Campbell <ian.campbell@citrix.com>

commit 817a824b75b1475f1b067c8cee318c7b4d66fcde upstream.

There's a path in the pagefault code where the kernel deliberately
breaks its own locking rules by kmapping a high pte page without
holding the pagetable lock (in at least page_check_address). This
breaks Xen's ability to track the pinned/unpinned state of the
page. There does not appear to be a viable workaround for this
behaviour so simply disable HIGHPTE for all Xen guests.
