Do you have any public repo, where can I cherry - pick your latest
patch series ?
This series is very useful for development we do in GlobalLogic - we
have Android as domU, and we need iomem for such devices as GPU.
For now we are using one of your previous series - is works fine for
us. Platform is DRA7 (OMAP5)

Also - I suppose - you are targeting this for Xen 4.5. Am I right ?

Regards,
Andrii
