The hypervisor interface changes for sharing and events have gone in;
there's a libxc-level change (to do with mlock()ing buffers) that ought
to go in before 4.2, if at all. 

There's a paging+waitqueues patch that's been posted but needs a bit more
work still; I'll try and look at it on Thursday.

Tim.
