I have now finished this branching process.  Please let me know of any
anomalies.  I have applied the patch below to xen.git#staging, to
(from a technical point of view) open Xen 4.8.

I'm not sure we have made a community decision about the terms under
which patches may be committed to the newly-open 4.8 (and who is
responsible for porting bug fixes from 4.7 to 4.8 or vice versa).
Perhaps I missed the email.  I don't think the stable tree maintainers
want to take over 4.7 yet.  So until that is settled, probably nothing
substantial should be committed to 4.8.

Commits for 4.7 should now go to xen.git#staging-4.7, on the same
terms as before.  (Ie, with Wei's approval.)

The branching process did not involve pushing any change to any of the
4.7 git branches.

Ian.
