Thread-topic: [Xen-devel] [Patch 0/4] Refining Xsave/Xrestore support - Version 2
User-agent: Microsoft-Entourage/12.27.0.100910
I applied patch 1/4 as xen-unstable:22334. The rest I think Jan had further
comments on. When you submit for the next round, please remember the
signed-off-by lines.

 Thanks,
 Keir
