The offending stable commit is 4074ca7d8a1832921c865d250bbd08f3441b3657
("x86/mm: Move LDT remap out of KASLR region on 5-level paging"), this
is commit d52888aa2753e3063a9d3a0c9f72f94aa9809c15 upstream.

Current upstream kernel is booting fine under Xen, so in general the
patch should be fine. Using an upstream kernel built from above commit
(with the then needed Xen fixup patch 1457d8cf7664f34c4ba534) is fine,
too.

Kirill, are you aware of any prerequisite patch from 4.20 which could be
missing in 4.19.5?
