These changes should be put like this....

v1: Add ioreq_pre_recalc query flag to get the old p2m_type.(Jan)
v2: Add p2m->recalc() hook to change gfn p2m_type. (George)
v3: Make commit message clearer. (George)

That is, below the S-o-B, you should add a line with '---', and then
after that add any comments that you want to aim at the reviewers (such
as changes between the versions) but not to end up checked into the tree.

This can be fixed up on check-in.
