Here's a really imprecise view into that.  Keeping with Anthony's
metrics:

 88 files changed, 7637 insertions(+), 436 deletions(-)

That's near meaningless, as it's not something that would compile and
run, but gives you a scope of the size of the changes for domU only
(shadow mode), no Xen drivers, etc..
