Subject: [PATCH] xen-disk: only advertize feature-persistent if grant copy is
not available
If grant copy is available then it will always be used in preference to
persistent maps. In this case feature-persistent should not be advertized
to the frontend, otherwise it may needlessly copy data into persistently
granted buffers.
