Thanks, I'm not actually interested in this functionality myself -- I
just wanted to encourage their submission upstream since others seem to
want them.

Then there is one additional wrinkle over and above what is described in
the SubmittingXenPatches wiki page, you should include a "Signed-off-by"
from the original author above your own.

Hopefully they included one when they originally posted the patch, in
which case you can just pass it on. If they did not then please CC them
on the posting and ask them to supply it (don't just make it up
yourself).

Hopefully the original authorship of all the patches is clear, if not
please note this in your changelog and we'll see if we can track them
down etc.

Please.

Thanks,
Ian.
