See Ian's comment on 20/26 -- I will copy the most relevant snippet
here:

  So can you please add comments to this patch saying
  
    Note that the COLO configuration settings should be considered
    unstable.  They may change incompatibly in future versions of
    Xen.
  
  This should appear (at least) three times: in xl.pod.1,
  xl-disk-configuration.txt and libxl_types.idl.  With such a change, I
  will ack this patch.

Wei.
