There are a few other bits and pieces missing in the current pv_ops
code:

 CPU hotplug
 ia64 support (this has already been brought up on xen-ia64-devel)
 kexec
 xenoprof

but the fact that we've got a functional (albeit 32-bit-only)
implementation already upstream to work against is a great help in
getting some of these efforts going on in parallel.

64-bit support and functional dom0 are definitely our top priorities
right now for Fedora.

At some point, the Xen community is going to have to think about turning
off the air supply to the old 2.6.18-based tree. :)
