Hello,

I am confused about a change made in yesterday's set of commits and I am hoping 
you can help me understand. Among other changes, the patch formerly known as 
0500-xsa449.patch was renamed to 
0315-pci-fail-device-assignment-if-phantom-functions-cann.patch. The patch 
declaration was also moved to the corresponding section in xen.spec.in (from 
"Security Fixes" to "Backports"). This confuses me because I do not understand 
the patch to be a backport (the [upstream XSA 
advisory](https://xenbits.xen.org/xsa/advisory-449.html) lists 4.17 as the 
target branch for this patch) and it is still a security fix regardless. But I 
do not know why the patches are organized this way (eg, why it is useful to 
list backports and security fixes in separate places to begin with) and perhaps 
if I did the reason for this reorganization would be obvious.

Regards,
Skyler
