We will definitely do that, but xen 3.0.0 is very near.

Applied, but I want you guys to know that the vmx mmio decoder is 
ultimately going to be replaced by x86_emulate.c (a copy of which will 
be compiled into both Xen and into qemu-dm). I think MOVSX is the first 
extension you''ve applied that isn''t currently supported by 
x86_emulate.c; the other numerous decoder extensions could have been 
avoided by using the emulator that already existed in Xen.
