Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH 0/4] CPU online/offline support in Xen

[Keir Fraser <keir.fraser@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You can hardly expect to do work in private and then 'surface the submarine'
when others post patches and expect them to do the work to merge with you.
If Intel's patches look acceptable then they will be checked in and Sun will
have to do the merge work to get any extra enhancements or features in their
patchset to work on top. That is unless you can see strong reason why Sun's
patches are technically better.
