Daniel,
Can you absolutely confirm that these changes are all backwards-compatible?
I have not done tests with older versions of Xen. However,
I made all patches with backward compatibility in mind. Anyway,
If you wish I could do tests with let's say Xen Ver. 3.4
and Xen Linux Kernel Ver. 2.6.18 at least.
