Oh nice. Glad to hear.

Yes!  That is the idea - to have the xen-pcifront upstream. Thought as
you experienced first hand, first the SWIOTLB need to be in the kernel
to make the PCI front patches work.

Well, in regards to those trees of mine I keep on reworking them so that they 
will be
ready for upstream. They don't have all of the nice bells and whistles
that xen/next has - just the basics to get xen-pcifront working.
