Subject: [PATCH v2 0/4] xen: prefer xenbus_scanf() over xenbus_gather()

For single items being collected this should be preferred as being more
typesafe (as the compiler can check format string and to-be-written-to
variable match) and more efficient (requiring one less parameter to be
passed).

1: xenbus: prefer xenbus_scanf() over xenbus_gather()
2: xen-blkback: prefer xenbus_scanf() over xenbus_gather()
3: xen-blkfront: prefer xenbus_scanf() over xenbus_gather()
4: xen-netback: prefer xenbus_scanf() over xenbus_gather()
