SeongJae Park 12f112c3e3 xen-blk{back,front}: Update contact points for buffer_squeeze_duration_ms and feature_persistent
SeongJae is currently listed as a contact point for some blk{back,front}
features, but he will not work for XEN for a while.  This commit
therefore updates the contact point to his colleague, Maximilian, who is
understanding the context and actively working with the features now.
