CentOS virt - Aug 2017 - 4.4.4-26 with XSA-226, 227, 230 in centos-virt-testing

Xen 4.4.4 along with kernel 4.9.44 containing patches for XSAs (226 -
230) from August 15th are now available in centos-virt-testing.  If
possible, please test and provide feedback here so we can move these to
release soon.

XSA-228 did not affect Xen 4.4
XSA-229 only applies to the kernel

XSA-235 disclosed today only affects ARM and isn't going to be added to
these packages.

Thanks.

Thanks for updating the Xen 4.4 branch! Are you still planning for additional
updates there?

Kevin has been rolling back the security updates to the 4.4 branch.  He
has been working with some of the other distros (debian for sure, and
some others on the xen security list).

I think it is his intention to continue this for as long as he is able
to. (Kevin, chime in if you have a schedule lifetime or EOL in mind)

As long as Kevin (or anyone else) maintains the tree, I am happy to
build them into the repos.
