Tamas’ project itself mainly uses libxc and below, as I understand; and so 
getting patches 1 and 2 in would be an important milestone; both have had R-b’s 
before the feature freeze.  Arguably patches 1 and 2 are a bug fix.  Patch 1 is 
missing VMX (or a general x86).

The libxl/xl side hasn’t, as I understand it, had significant review; I think 
that should probably wait until 4.15.

What do you think, Tamas?
