Thread-topic: [Xen-devel] Future of xenbits Linux trees
The xen-acpi-wmi patch in XenClient linux 2.6.27 patch queue is tied to 
XenClient.  I didn't expect this patch to be used outside the scope of 
XenClient which is why you encounter the below issues.

Could you please momentarily exclude the patch before pushing the rest or 
revert it if already applied and then build that branch?  Going forward, I will 
create a XenClient flavor of wmi.c that won't step on the base wmi 
implementation and configure the two to be mutually exclusive.

Kamala
