Thread-topic: [Xen-devel] Xen dom0 Kernel Patches

The 2.6.27 git tree and patchqueue under the Xen Client Initiative directory on 
xenbits is fairly well maintained: http://xenbits.xen.org/XCI/
 
To my mind this would be a better default tree for us to use for xen-unstable 
than the ancient 2.6.18. We obviously want to continue to encourage folk to try 
Jeremy's pvops dom0 stable tree based off the latest linux release too.
