No, it's just code cleanup for PCI passthrough, which is for passing
PCI devices through to guests.  If you are not doing PCI passthrough -
ie, most ordinary HVM guests - then these changes will not affect you.

In this case, just now.  All changes that we make to xen-unstable,
including the qemu-xen-unstable subsidiary tree, go through an
automated build-and-test.  Only versions which pass the (fairly
rudimentary) tests make it through to the main trees.

The pre-testing trees (called `staging') are also available and
published but not the `usual' case.

Yes.  You can change this by setting the CONFIG_QEMU make variable, eg
in a file `.config' in the xen-unstable.hg top level.

These messages are not very surprising.  Is it working ?
