Sorry I didn't ask for this last time, but I think this parameter
ought to have `colo' or `coloft' in its name somewhere.

How about `coloft_forwarddev' ?

This is not critical for 4.7 if we aren't trying to provide a stable
API.  Please make sure a copy of the API stability warning text I

Could you point where is the "API stability warning text", i've went through
v11/v12 and don't have any clue.


See Ian's comment on 20/26 -- I will copy the most relevant snippet

Yes, i just found Ian's comments, it's very strange that the reply email is not in my colo V12 thread.

Thanks

here:

   So can you please add comments to this patch saying

     Note that the COLO configuration settings should be considered
     unstable.  They may change incompatibly in future versions of
     Xen.

   This should appear (at least) three times: in xl.pod.1,
   xl-disk-configuration.txt and libxl_types.idl.  With such a change, I
   will ack this patch.

Wei.

Thanks
        -Xie
mentioned earlier (either because the previous patch put it here, or
adding it to this patch).

Thanks,
Ian.
