Thanks.

It seems this is post 3.4 release.. any plans on getting these for older version ? (may be a question for xen-devel forum.)

What about KVM ? Is there a plan to get this in to qemu / kvm ? Also, make it available to older versions of qemu/kvm.

Just trying to see how this important feature can be used by people currently (which are using xen and kvm from their distros.)
