Just to add to that status: all the normal kernel device drivers I've
tried seem to be working with this release --- usb, network and disk. X
is still known NOT to work, but that's not top priority to deal with.
Next steps include:
* Making sure domU runs correctly with the same kernel
* Cleaning up the apic handling to be pvops-friendly, so the same
kernel also boots on baremetal (all the code except for apic
should be OK already)
* Adding the necessary /dev and /proc support for xend
* Tracking 2.6.25-pre
At some point we'll also want to start tracking the xen-64 bit work,
too.
