Thank you for the answer. This is the commit in question:

http://xenbits.xen.org/gitweb/?p=xen.git;a=commitdiff;h=1dddfff4c39d3db17dfa709b1c57f44e3ed352e3;hp=68465944c81fa2fbc40bf29ec6084072af5e48ec

AFAICT there's nothing controversial about it, and it should easily
apply to 4.11, so if possible I propose that we consider backporting it
to the next 4.11 release.


Thanks,
Razvan
