I'll try with tip of xen-unstable (basically Xen 4.0.0 latest RC), and tip
of our pv_ops development repo
(git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jeremy/xen.git, branch
xen/master) for dom0. Those are what will form the upcoming release, so the
primary scope within which we care about reproducibility.
