Merge branch 'stable/for-jens-4.5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen into for-4.5/drivers

Konrad writes:

The pull is based on converting the backend driver into an multiqueue
driver and exposing more than one queue to the frontend. As such we had
to modify the frontend and also fix a bunch of bugs around this.

The original work is based on Arianna Avanzini's work as an OPW intern.
Bob took over the work and had been massaging it for quite some time.

Also included are are features to 64KB page support for ARM and various
bug-fixes.
