Both this and the next patch have been acked by Tim Deegan on the
hypervisor side.

However, I have not tested these in isolation. I've always used them
preceded by the "locking p2m series" posted earlier. I would suggest that
you hold off applying this until the locking p2m series gets applied. I
don't think there should be any problems, but I'm being conservative here.

Thanks!
