Using NR_CPUS is a little... old-fashioned. I'd suggest a sweep through
all the Xen code, look for places where it should be using
for_each_foo_cpu().

Actually that's a particularly good catch in this case, since we use per_cpu() inside the loop and that's only well defined for cpu_possible_map. Oops.

The elusive users of ring.h are our split device drivers. It hides a bunch of details about muxing requests and responses on the same ring, and notification thresholds. There are a few other places we have ring buffers but they are sufficiently simple that implementing in place is clearer.

 Thanks,
 Keir
