Subject: [PATCH] Fix pvops Xen detection for kernels >= v4.20

Upstream: accepted - expected crash 7.3.1
Git-commit: 4badc6229c69f5cd9da7eb7bdf400a53ec6db01a

Kernel commit 5c83511bdb9832c86be20fb86b783356e2f58062 removed
pv_init_ops, and later commit 054ac8ad5ebe4a69e1f0e842483821ddbe560121
removed the Xen-specific paravirt patch function. As a result, pvops Xen
dumps are no longer recognized as Xen dumps, and virtual-to-physical
translation fails.

Use the value of xen_start_info to determine whether the kernel is
running in Xen PV mode. This pointer is set during the initialization of
a PV domain. Kudos to Juergen Gross, who suggested this check.
