What is the purpose of making these lists identical ?

Firstly, I disapprove of churn in the names of features.
Secondly, we are in feature freeze ...

Hi Ian,

These patches were for sync-ing up with Linux upstream kernel. They 
don''t add new features  to Xen or expose any new feature to guest VMs. 
If you insist, we can include them after 4.1 release.

Best,
-Wei
