BTW, what is the status of that patch?

I am attaching version 4 of my patch. It moves handling of the kernel and ramdisk into a function along the lines of Miroslav Rezanina's patch
http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2012-05/msg01499.html
It adds checking for problems opening the kernel or ramdisk files and checks they exist in the not_really mode as discussed in this thread.

I still think it is a good idea to remove the temporary copies of the kernel and ramdisk if there are problems copying them because I am not convinced the calling process always removes them and it might be presented with truncated files if copying the files filled the filespace.
