["Yoshi. Oguchi" <y-oguchi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As Fred and Dan already pointed out,
we (IPF/Xen community) had no intention of 
creating a permanent mm-like tree.
Rather, while we are at p2m/vp tasks, 
we decided to temporarily use Intel owned tree
(xen-ia64-unstable-Intel) as a staging tree.

When we merge upstream p2m/vp patches into upstream xen-ia64-unstable, 
I think your expertise for code maintenance would be really helpful.

Sorry for confusion if I and Yamahata-san didn't communicate with you
clearly.

Thanks,

Yoshi Oguchi
