We have "earlier" patches. Meaning the #master branches has patches
that are going to be in proposed for 3.1. So you get the extra fancy stuff 
before it is
integrated in the vanilla.

Mostly just separation of patches. The "extra fancy stuff" could bring in
bugs so if you use the vanilla kernel you would not trip over them.
And the #master in my case did have some extra fancy stuff in the Xen PCI - so 
I was trying to isolate whether the issue you were tripping over was the fault
of the new code or something that has been in there since 2.6.37. It was the 
latter.

Besides that - in the past we had a backlog of patches to make Xen work nicely -
but almost all (except the #stable/vga.support) are in the upstream kernel.

So it is more of "stable" (vanilla) vs "development" (our #master or 
#devel/next-3.0
branches).

Great. Is it OK if I stick 'Tested-by:' on the patch?
