This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

 xen: tolerate ACPI NVS memory overlapping with Xen allocated memory

to the 6.11-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git%3Ba=su...

The filename of the patch is: xen-tolerate-acpi-nvs-memory-overlapping-with-xen-al.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.11 subdirectory.

If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let stable@vger.kernel.org know about it.

 xen: tolerate ACPI NVS memory overlapping with Xen allocated memory
 [ Upstream commit be35d91c8880650404f3bf813573222dfb106935 ]

For this patch to have the desired effect there are the following prerequisite patches missing:

c4498ae316da ("xen: move checks for e820 conflicts further up") 9221222c717d ("xen: allow mapping ACPI data using a different physical address")

Please add those to the stable trees, too.

As those didn't apply to anything older than 6.1.y I've dropped this one from the older kernel branches as well.

thanks,
