Hi,
After this commit between the tags v4.2 and v4.3-rc1,

     Merge tag 'for-linus-4.3-rc0-tag' of 
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xen/tip

     Pull xen updates from David Vrabel:
      "Xen features and fixes for 4.3:

        - Convert xen-blkfront to the multiqueue API
        - [arm] Support binding event channels to different VCPUs.
        - [x86] Support > 512 GiB in a PV guests (off by default as such a
          guest cannot be migrated with the current toolstack).
        - [x86] PMU support for PV dom0 (limited support for using perf with
          Xen and other guests)"

     * tag 'for-linus-4.3-rc0-tag' of 
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xen/tip: (33 commits)
       xen: switch extra memory accounting to use pfns
       xen: limit memory to architectural maximum
       xen: avoid another early crash of memory limited dom0

       xen: remove no longer needed p2m.h
       xen: allow more than 512 GB of RAM for 64 bit pv-domains
       xen: move p2m list if conflicting with e820 map
       xen: add explicit memblock_reserve() calls for special pages
       mm: provide early_memremap_ro to establish read-only mapping

Kernels fail to boot the Mustang board which I have access. Do I need a 
newer F/W so I can
use recent, v4.4-rcX mainline kernels?
