[Xen-devel] [PATCH 1/3] paravirt,xen: remove xen_patch()



Xen's paravirt patch function xen_patch() does some special casing for
irq_ops functions to apply relocations when those functions can be
patched inline instead of calls.

Unfortunately none of the special case function replacements is small
enough to be patches inline, so the special case never applies.

As xen_patch() will call paravirt_patch_default() in all cases it can
be just dropped.
