Hi Juergen,

Are those kernel patches heading for linux-stable as well ?

I ask this, because it would be nice to be able to use PVH on Xen 4.11 release 
with a distro kernel
(4.9 or 4.14 stable for instance for Debian).
PVH worked fine with xen-4.11-to-be up until this commit, so the kernel patches 
fix this (non-kernel) regression.
