 So as we discussed, we should split the testing of the toolstack and
the kernel into separate pieces so that kernel failures don't prevent
the toolstack tree from being updated.

I think you should use "xen/next-2.6.32" as the input to the test
subsystem.  If you have a git tree on xenbits with a, say,
"xen/tested-2.6.32" branch which gets updated when the tests pass, then
I can make that automatically update xen/stable-2.6.32.x for public
consumption.

That way people who need/want bleeding edge changes can use
xen/next-2.6.32, and everyone else gets xen/stable-2.6.32.x by default.
