[Xen-devel] patch about "don't reset vcpu_info on a cancelled suspend"

["Ouyangzhaowei (Charles)" <ouyangzhaowei@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi David,

This patch has been applied to for-linus-4.1b, and we wonder if this patch will 
be applied to linux kernel, or does
it still needs more test to apply to linux kernel?

thanks
