Just rebooted both dom0 and domU with 4.9.30-2+deb9u2 and the the
postgresql domU is having problems right away after boot:

  domid=1: nr_frames=32, max_nr_frames=32

  [  242.652100] INFO: task kworker/u90:0:6 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

Upgrading the kernels and I can't get it above 11 anymore:

  domid=1: nr_frames=11, max_nr_frames=32

So some of those many kernel fixes did the trick and things just
work fine with the newer kernels without raising gnttab_max_frames.
