Pull more xen updates from Juergen Gross:
- a series for the Xen pv block drivers adding module parameters for
better control of resource usge
- a cleanup series for the Xen event driver
* tag 'for-linus-5.10b-rc1c-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xen/tip:
Documentation: add xen.fifo_events kernel parameter description
xen/events: unmask a fifo event channel only if it was masked
xen/events: only register debug interrupt for 2-level events
xen/events: make struct irq_info private to events_base.c
xen: remove no longer used functions
xen-blkfront: Apply changed parameter name to the document
xen-blkfront: add a parameter for disabling of persistent grants
