Frediano Ziglio baedd1ef92 xen: Add support for XenServer 6.1 platform device
[ Upstream commit 2356f15caefc0cc63d9cc5122641754f76ef9b25 ]

On XenServer on Windows machine a platform device with ID 2 instead of
1 is used.

This device is mainly identical to device 1 but due to some Windows
update behaviour it was decided to use a device with a different ID.

This causes compatibility issues with Linux which expects, if Xen
is detected, to find a Xen platform device (5853:0001) otherwise code
will crash due to some missing initialization (specifically grant
tables). Specifically from dmesg

The device 2 is presented by Xapi adding device specification to
Qemu command line.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
