Ah, that's where the previous stuff ended up. I thought those probably
just got dropped.

Let's just scratch those. It's been months, so if they didn't make it
back then, they won't need to complicate stuff now either.

So I should probably merge with xen/frontend. If those matter, they must
be on some branch which matters. Which one is it? I thought the one
which matters is xen/master? Is it xen/next?
