Thanks for pointing this out, Lars.  I had just spotted it myself.

These changes are old, well-tested, and they are important bugfixes.
I think they should go in.

Right.  So I take you to mean that I should apply backports to 4.4
freely.


Jan, things that I have queued for 4.5 are therefore:

 d83bf9d2 libxl: In libxl_set_vcpuonline check for
                 maximum number of VCPUs against the cpumap

 12e817e2 Fix build of 32bit toolstacks on CentOS 5.x following XSA-125

 9369988  libxl: event handling: Break out ao_work_outstanding

 f1335f0  libxl: event handling: ao_inprogress does waits while reports
                 outstanding

Of these, all but 12e817e2 have been in master for a long time.
12e817e2 was pushed this morning.

I propose to push all of these today, unless you object.  I will
double-check with you on irc.

Ian.
