If "we all know what needs doing", might be useful to list that out in email just to make sure. Very very roughly, what I was thinking was to make (and keep maintained a stack of (in order)): mainline kernel + things going upstream + rest of xen And keep that stack working. To put it another way, we need to keep slicing stuff off the bottom of the Xen patch and merging it. I don't think we have a working stack in that form at the moment (at least not on top of any recent mainline kernel), which is my main concern right now (can't really do much without it). Would be splendid if we can keep that up-to-date with every major release, plus -rc releases if possible. I know it's a lot of work ... M.
