Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH] Add dm-userspace to the Xen kernel

[Anthony Liguori <aliguori@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I think dm-userspace is great, but I don't think it belongs in 
patches/.  To quote Chris W.:
"Good things there are bits that are ready to go upstream or fixes to 
base Linux that are transient by version (backport of a fix that's in 
the -rc for the next kernel or somesuch)."
Until this ends up in -mm, I really don't think we should add this to 
the -xen tree as it has no dependence on Xen.  We should be good members 
of the kernel community here and go through the normal channels.  At any 
rate, I would think that you would want it to be useful first before 
adding it which means bringing in all of the tools into the tree.
If a user already has to fetch a bunch of tools and compile from source, 
adding an additional patch to the Xen build isn't so bad.
Regards,

Anthony Liguori
