Jeremy can answer this. Currently Konrad is refactoring the swiotlb patches
to make them upstram acceptable.

I think APIC stuff has been fixed already. How about ACPI?

2.6.34 merge window is getting close soon..

Xen 4.0.0 will use pv_ops dom0 as a default, from Jeremy's git tree.

I think the plan has been to ship with 2.6.32 based pv_ops dom0, see:

linux-2.6.18-xen can also be used with Xen 4.0.0, if someone wants to do that.
