SubjectRe: [PATCH 4/5] x86-64/xen: Enable the vvar mapping

The description needs a bit more, for example:

"Xen needs to handle the newly introduced VVAR_PAGE introduced by
git commit 9fd67b4ed0714ab718f1f9bd14c344af336a6df7
"x86-64: Give vvars their own page"

Otherwise we die during bootup with this:

<and include snippets of the boot message crash>
"

With that included it looks good to me.
