I thought xen/next-2.6.37 branch under 
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jeremy.xen.git is the 2.6.37 
development branch.

Is xen/next-2.6.38 under 
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jeremy.xen.git the development 
branch for 2.6.38?

Base on the attached email from you, that too also has missing bug fixes.  It 
sounds the best pvops tree to use is:

        git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen.git 
devel/next-2.6.38

I will give this a try.

I believe it is already in the Greg KH 2.6.37.x bug-fix branch. But ... we 
don't actually
have a 2.6.37.x development branch. We do have a 2.6.38 one - wherein the
patch is present.


Under 2.6.32.x.. Jeremy, I've stuck this patch and another in
for-2.6.32/bug-fixes. Could you pull it please?

Oh man, what a headache.

Brave soul :-)

For right now take my tree: 
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen.git devel/next-2.6.38

It has the dom0 + lots of patches (including the pciback and netback).

No blkback yet.
