Great, I'll give it a spin.

Alright, I'll merge those in.  We can put #4 off for a bit then.

I find quilt to work quite well for patchbombing.

Hi,

I've just committed ELF notes support to Xen unstable. It should become
public once changeset 11239:58b5141c8309 passes through regression
testing and into the public tree.

The patches which follow update the paravirt tree to define the notes.
Some of them should be merged with existing patches others are
completely new. I've made a note in the intro to the individual patches.

There is one caveat which is that shadow mode for paravirt guests seems
to be a little broken at the current tip of xen-unstable so you may want
to stick where you are for now and not apply patch #4 (the one which
removes __xen_guest from the header). The rest of the series is fine to
apply whether you update or not.

Sorry for the lack of References: from the patches to this mail, I'm
doing this manually. If anyone has any pointers to a decent patchbomb
script I'm all ears ;-)

Ian.
