So two git features:
* If you write "CC: Name <address@xxxxxxxxx>" in your commit message,
git send-email will CC that person *just for that commit*
* Anything in the description under a line starting with "---" will be
discarded

So you can write your message like this:
8<--------------------------------------
libxl: A one-line example.

This is just an example commit.

Signed-off-by: George Dunlap <george.dunlap@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
---
CC: Ian Campbell <ian.campbell@xxxxxxxxxx>
CC: Wei Liu <wei.liu@xxxxxxxxxx>
8<--------------------------------------

And when you do git-send-email, it will automatically CC Ian and Wei
(and only them) for this patch.
