- 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
