I think that for form's sake it would be good for you to mail the
patches to xen-devel but I'm happy to pull.  So ideally a patch series
submission which says `here are the diffs 0/n and also a git URL'.
Is that a lot of work for you ?  If so I can probably produce such a
series of emails myself but I think since you're the originator of
these patches I think it would make more sense for you to do it.

Thanks for your contributions.  I'm definitely keen to have them and
I'll be branching qemu-xen so that I can take your changes now rather
than waiting for the Xen 3.4 release freeze to end.

It's good that you're posting this code to qemu-devel and getting
review there.  But I'd like the qemu developers to hold off committing
these changes to their tree until the files which are being added are
100% identical in Gerd's patch series to in qemu-xen-unstable.

That way qemu upstream will remain directly mergeable into
qemu-xen-unstable because the code in the new files will be identical.
Anything else will make my life very painful.

To make this happen I'm of course happy to take patches to make sure
that the code which is in qemu-xen-unstable is in the form that qemu
upstream want it for merging.

Ian.
