Merge tag 'for-linus-5.9-rc4-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xen/tip
Pull xen updates from Juergen Gross: "A small series for fixing a problem with Xen PVH guests when running as backends (e.g. as dom0). Mapping other guests' memory is now working via ZONE_DEVICE, thus not requiring to abuse the memory hotplug functionality for that purpose" * tag 'for-linus-5.9-rc4-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xen/tip: xen: add helpers to allocate unpopulated memory memremap: rename MEMORY_DEVICE_DEVDAX to MEMORY_DEVICE_GENERIC xen/balloon: add header guard
