As an FYI, after posting I realized I was not on the tip of staging, I 
have a v5 ready, which is at the tip of staging and corrects a small 
type issue with initrdidx in start_xen() and is 100% on CI. I'm holding 
off on posting back-to-back revisions of a large series, which would 
only results in a few code gyrations with no logical impact that would 
not result in different review than would have occurred on v4.

V/r,
