The latter please.

We should also clarify the force push criteria.  It is moderately likely
that we get a fix or extension to an existing test which starts showing
up a new bug in the code under test.

In this case, OSSTest will identify a regression, but it isn't a
regression isn't in XTF, nor is it reasonable to call it a regression in
Xen.  We would absolutely want to fix it in upstream, but there are no
guarentees that the bugfix would be suitable for backport to older trees.
