Thank you both for the suggestions!

Just in case I forget this...I saw the xenstore XSAs been merged yesterday,
and hence may I please ask for a clarification if you are ok with the above
plan so we can tag RC3 this week later after master branch is synced with
smoke/staging?

Also I think we need to submit a patch to make the default CONFIG_DEBUG
to n in Kconfig? Thanks!

Kind regards,
Henry
