I think we are likely to want to ratchet through the 3.12 and 3.13
reasonably quickly in the short term.

How about we track mainline releases but not stable releases and instead
cherrypick fixes we need and merge new uptream versions when we want to
climb up? That would keep the tree non-rebasing. In that case I'd call
it linux-arm-xen in the hopes that one day it can be replaced by a linux
stable branch.

Stefano, do you think that would work?
