RE: [Xen-devel] [PATCH][SPT][DISCUSS] BUG() in shadow.h delete_shadow_status() with HVM guest

["Woller, Thomas" <thomas.woller@xxxxxxx>]

Keir, we have been using this patch since May 8th on our internal trees,
and haven't seen any negative consequences.  Jun's patch below fixes a
problem with a hang when performing an "xm destroy" on a windows guest.
We would like to see it go into the xen-unstable.hg tree, and
3.0-testing if you feel comfortable with it.
Thanks
Tom
