Archiving the list would solve the majority of the confusion IMHO,
although it probably means we'll start getting the occasional question
about PV Xen on ARM on xen-devel instead, that's a minor concern
compared with positive of the number of hardware assisted Xen on ARM
questions which would no longer be going to the wrong list...
