Hi Linus,

please consider pulling a patch series for 4.8 from:

  https://github.com/jgross1/linux.git tags/for-linus-4-8

Unfortunately 2 of the 6 patches got no Acks as the maintainers didn't
react in spite of multiple pings and resends. The core modification in
the scheduler got an Ack from Peter and multiple tests showed no
regressions.

As the series is touching multiple subsystems I couldn't find anyone
willing to take the series via his tree (I tried Ingo, Thomas, Peter).

Juergen Gross (6):
      xen: sync xen header
      virt, sched: add generic vcpu pinning support
      smp: add function to execute a function synchronously on a cpu
      xen: add xen_pin_vcpu() to support calling functions on a
dedicated pcpu
      dcdbas: make use of smp_call_on_cpu()
      hwmon: use smp_call_on_cpu() for dell-smm i8k
