Thread-topic: Some question to changeset 17962
When I reading changeset 17962, I have several question to it, can anyone give 
me some hint to it?

a) The major part of the patch is the affinity for NMI/MCE, what's the 
relationship between this part with the subject (i.e. the suspend event 
channel)?
b) It stated that user space tools should "prevent multiple subscribers", are 
there any special reason we have to leave this to user space? I assume some 
simple checking in Xen should avoid the multiple subscribe, or do I miss 
something important?

Thanks
Yunhong Jiang
