Cool. So what's the best way to proceed ? That code is not yet in
linus tree, right ?

So I guess the best way is that I add the core changes to a rc-4 based
branch and you can pull it in and apply the whole xen stuff to your
own tree.

I base my pending patches on top of that so it wont be any problem
when merging the stuff together in next or linus later.
