Hey Jens, Please in your spare time (if there is such a thing at a conference) pull this branch: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen.git stable/for-jens-3.10 for your v3.10 branch. Sorry for being so late with this. <blurb> It has the ''feature-max-indirect-segments'' implemented in both backend and frontend. The current problem with the backend and
