Xen side fixes:

6d27a53, c7e35c6, 4c15a82: 3x RTC emulation fixes.  Windows XP/2003 are
still susceptible to falling into infinite loops under Xen 4.3 and 4.4
without these.

Tool side fixes:

c566ab6 "libxl: Fix error path in libxl_device_events_handler"
81b0305 "tools/libxl: Don't read off the end of tinfo[]"
d752158 "tools/pygrub: Fix error handling if no valid partitions are found"
