Pull Xen updates from David Vrabel:
"Features and fixes:

- Add pvscsi frontend and backend drivers.
- Remove _PAGE_IOMAP PTE flag, freeing it for alternate uses.
- Try and keep memory contiguous during PV memory setup (reduces
SWIOTLB usage).
- Allow front/back drivers to use threaded irqs.
- Support large initrds in PV guests.
- Fix PVH guests in preparation for Xen 4.5"

xen: remove DEFINE_XENBUS_DRIVER() macro

The DEFINE_XENBUS_DRIVER() macro looks a bit weird and causes sparse
errors.

Replace the uses with standard structure definitions instead. This is
similar

Replace the uses with standard structure definitions instead. This is
similar to pci and usb device registration.

xen-scsifront: don't deadlock if the ring becomes full

scsifront_action_handler() will deadlock on host->host_lock, if the
ring is full and it has to wait for entries to become available.

xen-scsifront: Add Xen PV SCSI frontend driver

Introduces the Xen pvSCSI frontend. With pvSCSI it is possible for a
Xen domU to issue SCSI commands to a SCSI LUN assigned to that
domU. The SCSI commands are passed to the pvSCSI backend in a driver
domain (usually Dom0) which is owner of the physical device. This
allows e.g. to use SCSI tape drives in a Xen domU.

The code is taken from the pvSCSI implementation in Xen done by
Fujitsu based on Linux kernel 2.6.18.

Changes from the original version are:
- port to upstream kernel
- put all code in just one source file
- move module to appropriate location in kernel tree
- adapt to Linux style guide
- some minor code simplifications
- replace constants with defines
- remove not used defines
- add support for larger SG lists by putting them in a granted page
