Oh right -- sorry, I meant to clone staging-4.3 but apparently grabbed
stable-4.3 instead.  Oops.

So the only thing actually left is to change "-unstable" to ".0" in
xen/Makefile XEN_EXTRAVERSION.

There's xenbits:~xen/release-checklist, but it seems mainly to do with
managing branches, tags, tarballs &c, rather than things to change in
the source file.

If there hasn't been any testing over the weekend, I think we're going
to have to do a force-push.

Jan, can you change the version in xen/Makefile?

I think the plan is to make the public announcement about 9am EDT (2pm
UK time) tomorrow, so we do have a little bit of time to sort things
out tomorrow; but it would be good if doing the tarball and a force
push was all that was required.
