- Implementation of 7.0.5 from upstream, including patch refresh
Changelog:
- Fix for the "runq -g" option for kernels that are configured with
CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED, but not CONFIG_CFS_BANDWIDTH. Without the
patch, the command fails with the message "runq: invalid structure
member offset: cfs_rq_throttled".

- Add support for Xen PVH guest types introduced in Xen 4.4. Without
the patch, running against a Xen 4.4 hypervisor binary would fail
during session initialization with the error message "crash: invalid
structure member offset: domain_is_hvm". In addition, the PVH guest
type is being registered internally as an HVM guest type, the debug
"help -X ofs" command's display of the domain_domain_flags offset
has been fixed to show it in decimal, and the setting of the internal
dc->domain_flags has been fixed to contain all flags set, not just
the first one found.

- Fix for the "kmem -S" command on Linux 3.1 and later kernels that are
configured with CONFIG_SLUB. Because the the page structure's inuse
and objects fields used by SLUB were changed from discrete u16 types
to bit-fields within an unsigned int, the display of per-node partial
slab statistics are incorrect. Without the patch, the TOTAL and
ALLOCATED values are incorrectly shown as equal values, and therefore
the FREE value is always zero.

- Fix for the "kmem -S" command for kernels that are configured with
CONFIG_SLUB. Eash per-cpu slab object dump may show incorrect
ALLOCATED and FREE values; and as seen on Linux 3.5 and later
kernels, the TOTAL value and the number of individual objects dumped
may also be incorrect (too small).
