Subject: [GIT PULL] xen: branch for v5.5-rc1

Linus,

Please git pull the following tag:

 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xen/tip.git for-linus-5.5b-rc1-tag

xen: branch for v5.5-rc1

It contains:

- a patch to fix a build warning

- a cleanup of no longer needed code in the Xen event handling

- a small series for the Xen grant driver avoiding high order
  allocations and replacing an insane global limit by a per-call one

- a small series fixing Xen frontend/backend module referencing


Thanks.

Juergen
