Hi Karim, Jonathan,

I'd like to get the ARM patches upstreamed into Xen. My patches are
built on yours; are you happy for me to submit them too?

The full set of my patches ready for merging can be found here:

  https://github.com/talex5/xen/commits/next

I see that some of these have already been merged into the
https://github.com/KarimAllah/xen repository, which is great - thanks!

I also have some patches (on the devel branch) to allow building and
installing a libminios.a (plus linker script and pkg-config file) so
that other projects can use it as a library. However, these need some
cleaning up first.

If you're OK with this, I'll send the patch series to the xen-devel list.

Thanks,
