Yeah - very fortunate timing yesterday.  The answer is all of them, plus
some scattered earlier fixes which did manage to get into 4.17, and even
some subsequent ones which are still pending for review.

The major bugfix is keeping /dev/xen/evtchn open, and the preceding 8
patches are all part of that fix, but "not losing the critical
information when things go wrong" is important too.

Perhaps it would be easier for me to prepare the backports when the time
comes?
