Bug Description

Hi,

to circumvent spectre/meltdown, there is the new pvh v2 mode with xen 4.10 and the new shim functionality to run non pvh2 guests with 4.11. Can you please include the latest xen 4.11 into 18.10 to circumvent these bugs?

Best Regards

Hi,

Is there any reason why you put this as private? Since it seems to be a new feature in xen to be included.
