So, as 2.6.21-rc1 is approaching, what is the upstream merge status for the paravirt-ops backends? I believe VMI is in Andi's tree, plus or minus some bugfixes that are still being whittled in, but Andi, do you think the VMI code is in good shape for merging? It would be nice for everyone to clarify their upstream plans - is the goal still to get Xen and lguest merged for the next kernel release? Rusty, you mentioned you had a patchset to push, when do you expect to have it ready? Chris / Jeremy - perhaps I missed it, but I haven't seen updated Xen paravirt-ops patches go out yet - is 2.6.21 still the merge target? I don't want to be pushy, but I do want our code to get merged, and time's a ticking. I think we're all in good shape, but the sooner the code all gets merged the sooner we can tackle the remaining cleanup / polishing tasks. One of which is separating the paravirt-ops into GPL and non-GPL exports, which we need consensus on where the line is, but can't really achieve it until everyone is happy with the finalized set of paravirt-ops. Any patch that tries to do this now would just cause rejects later and slow all of our merges. Zach
