Bug Description

SRU Justification:

Impact: Upstream Xen has released a stable update to 4.9.2. Bionic and Artful are based on 4.9.0 currently. By upgrading to the latest stable release we would gain many fixes and improvements from the upstream stable stream.

Fix: Replaced the orig tarballs with the contents of the upstream stable release. Dropping patches we have picked up already.

Testcase: Basic regression testing after upgrading.
