Jeremy''s ''xen/master'' branch is at 2.6.31.5 atm.
The difference is that the xenified patches are forward-ports of the old
2.6.18 Xenlinux code (ported by Novell/Suse). Xenlinux code/patches
won''t be accepted into upstream linux, it''s too intrusive.
While jeremy''s tree is re-write for upstream Linux pvops framework, and
is aimed for upstream inclusion.
