Thread-topic: [Xen-API] [PATCH] Makes the allocator more robust by enabling allocation of 0 bytes
Hi Dave,

The fix to the allocator depends on some earlier patches I have sent out.  
Shall I put all of them in one big patch?  Or just point out which earlier 
patches it depends on?  The following is an excerpt from my series-file.  Do 
the patch-names survive the publication by email somewhere?

stdext-fun_mapext_opt
mlvm-refactor
fun-application
listext-take-tails
opt-join
allocator-fix-zero-alloc

Matthias.

Hi Matthias,

I didn't manage to apply this patch. Perhaps I'm missing an intermediate patch? 
Could you send me another version which applies to the current tip of the repo?

Thanks,
Dave
