    arm: Support hypercall_create_continuation for multicall
    
    Multicall for ARM has been supported since commit f0dbdc6 "xen: arm: fully
    implement multicall interface.". Although, if an hypercall in multicall
    requires preemption, it will crash the host:

    Looking to the code, the support of multicall looks valid to me, as we only
    need to fill call.args[...]. So drop the BUG();
    
    This is CVE-2015-7812 / XSA-145.
