[Xen-devel] [PATCH, resend] libxc: implement gnttab.set_max_grants for Linux

["Jan Beulich" <JBeulich@xxxxxxxx>]

Legacy (non-pvops) gntdev drivers may require this operation to be
performed when the number of grants intended to be used simultaneously
exceeds a certain driver specific default limit, and qemu's qdisk
driver is an example of needing to do so.
