This is all totally inconsistent.

The first quoted para talks about patch numbers without names without
realising that the reader has no context for them (especially given that
the request for this resend was due to the confusion surrounding what
was what in the previous iteration).

The second quoted para hasn't been true for at least one iteration.

So, I was just about to apply:
>   xg_read_mem: Report on error.
>   xg_main: If XEN_DOMCTL_gdbsx_guestmemio fails then force error.

but now I've no idea whether I really should or not.

I'm going to apply anyway, since I suspect that was what was intended,
but in the future please work on the clarity of your communications, 100
lines of quotations and analysis is no good if it doesn't actually make
sense.

If I wasn't supposed to apply please shout and I will revert.

Ian.
