You ask on this mailing list for particular changesets to be cherry picked
out of xen-unstable into specified stable branches (4.0 or 4.1). You provide
a backported patch if the changeset cannot be trivially applied to the
stable branch.

Every xen stable branch has its own -testing tree. So there is actually no
tree called xen-testing. Xen-4.0-testing will remain, and a new
xen-4.1-testing tree will be created alongside.
