Thanks.  I've pulled it anyway, but not yet merged it into anything yet.

What dependencies does it have on the rest of the xen changes?  In
general I like to avoid basing branches on xen/master, because it makes
them fairly brittle to rebase or otherwise rearrange.  Ideally I like to
base each topic branch on a mainline kernel version (like v2.6.31), or
if there are too many dependencies on other Xen topic branches, the most
specific one that covers the dependencies (xen/core, xen/dom0/core, for
example).

Also, does this include both front and backend parts together?  I think
it would be easier to deal with if you could split it into separate
common, frontend and backend branches.  Or maybe that would be too fiddly...
