Merge branch 'stable/for-jens-3.8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen into for-linus
Konrad writes: Please git pull the following branch: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen.git stable/for-jens-3.8 which has a bug-fix to the xen-blkfront and xen-blkback driver when using the persistent mode. An issue was discovered where LVM disks could not be read correctly and this fixes it. There is also a change in llist.h which has been blessed by akpm.
