I am seeing a build failure from these patches when using gcc 7. The 
problem is with
xsa206-4.80002-xenstored-Log-when-the-write-transaction-rate-limit-.patch 
because in tools/xenstore/xenstored_domain.c the patch adds the boolean 
wrl_delay_logged to the structure "domain" but later it tries to increment 
it, resulting in the error 
xenstored_domain.c: In function 'wrl_apply_debit_actual':
xenstored_domain.c:949:32: error: increment of a boolean expression 
[-Werror=bool-operation]
    if (!domain->wrl_delay_logged++) {
