Yes. The other which made it into -mm via lkml is a more recent version of the same patch (+documentation, +!x86 arch updates). On the hvm_console.c changes: there is just a small change needed to make it build on !ppc, that should be identical identical in my (xen) and rusty (lguest) patch series.
