Tools backport request for Xen 4.14

Tools backport request for Xen 4.14

[Julien Grall]

Hi Ian & Jan,

Would it be possible to consider backporting to 4.14 the following tools 
commit:

d25cc3ec93eb "libxl: workaround gcc 10.2 maybe-uninitialized warning"

This would help to build Xen tools on Debian Testing with GCC 10. I 
haven't build itself myself, so I can't promise this is only one :).

Cheers,

From Debian's repository:
https://salsa.debian.org/xen-team/debian-xen.git

The master and knorrie/4.14 branches include that commit.  They will
hopefully soon include all the Debian-specific bits for cross-building
too.

I have now backported all of the GCC10 fixes to all the supported Xen
branches (ie back to 4.12).  Upstream staging-* now builds on Debian
sid, for me.  Sorry for not getting to this earlier.

Ian.

Just to clarify: 4.12 is only security supported at this point, from
all I can tell.
