[Xen-devel] Re: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH 13/13] xen: pv domain builder.

You havn't looked at them in detail for a while, right?

The pointless xen_* -> xen-* renames are all gone.  Only one is left:
Rename xenfb.c to xen_framebuffer.c for consistency with the other xen
files.

Feel free to just ignore them.  In theory they should be a no-op anyway,
but I though you'd prefer to be able to test that.  If you don't want
that, fine, I'll happily drop the patches then.  Less work for me, which
is always welcome.

Fine.

You'll get them from upstream at some point anyway.
If you don't want them beforehand for testing just tell me, no problem.

Yea, the very first is just some script-age for me, ignore that one.

Patches 02 -> 04 pull depending patches, once you've merged with
upstream they are not needed any more and will be removed from the patch
set.

Patches 05 -> 09 is the backend core / console / framebuffer stuff you
are willing to take.

Patch 10 are the xen_machine_pv.c changes (upstream changeset has this
earlier, moved here for better bisectability).

Patch 11+ are disk + nic backends.  Ignore them if you don't want them.

> This has been explained before, I think ?

Please read the patches and also the introduction text for the patch
sets posted to xen-devel and qemu-devel.  I *do* address your review
comments.

cheers,
  Gerd
