Building the linux-3.16 stable branch, I ran into this warning that shows a serious problem in the xen-netback driver: drivers/net/xen-netback/netback.c: In function 'xenvif_dealloc_kthread': drivers/net/xen-netback/netback.c:2002:1: error: the frame size of 16384 bytes is larger than 2048 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=] The bug was fixed in linux-4.4, but for any older stable kernel we either need to backport that fix, or not use the driver when the page size is set to 64KB. As the proper fix is way bigger than the usual limit for stable backport patches, this adds a Kconfig dependency.
