Great work, everyone. This has been a very diligent effort.

I laughed out loud when I saw Greg's "but this isn't dom0?!" comment, though
I figured you all must have gotten really annoyed seeing that; yet it was
handled very gracefully.

Are you going to make a temporary branch where you'll just slap on the
missing code (even the non-upstreamable parts), just so we can test the full
Xen dom0 stack in the current circumstances? Upstream kernel has undergone
many changes since .32 and it stands to reason that there are other bugs to
flush out, unrelated to code upstreamability.
