Looked at the qemu-xen tree and the branches therein today (missed the
original announcement as I was on vacation at that point in time).
Ian's plan seems to be to upstream mostly bugfixes (qemu branch), not
any xen-specific code.

I also want to have the xen bits upstream (pv first as mentioned in the
previous mail).  And I want to have it as runtime option, not
compile-time option, so you don't have a separate qemu-dm binary.

cheers,
  Gerd
