you can checkout my tree from here (vanilla 2.6.34 + pv on hvm patches):
git://xenbits.xen.org/people/sstabellini/linux-pvhvm.git
branch name 2.6.34-pvhvm-v4.
The patches that you need to have are:
- "__setup_vector_irq: handle NULL chip_data"
32b5ffd98391cb47c3cc9459c445d9490a523622
- "Fix possible NULL pointer dereference in print_IO_APIC"
a57e90eaf9c55da55e3de09ebda99cb2f8a00e40
- "Fix find_unbound_irq in presence of ioapic irqs."
d7fc454bce7b63aab43ef0e11d97b206082e4740
BTW I have a new version of the branch (2.6.34-pvhvm-v6) without those
patches because I was able to fix the issue in a better way, but I
haven't sent it to the list yet. Jeremey's PV on HVM branch is based on
v4. _______________________________________________
