	Hi community,

	I've been working on modifying Xen and the Xen-Linux kernel to make
vCPU better represent Hyper-Threading physical CPUs, as I mentioned in a
previous post.

http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2006-01/msg00853.html

	I produced some performance measurements and patches that might be
useful for some Hyper-Threading friendly workloads running on Xen. I'll
make the performance measurement report available soon.	

	Basically, the modified files were:

	xen/common/domain.c
	xen/common/sched_bvt.c
	xen/common/sched_sedf.c
	xen/common/schedule.c
	xen/include/public/vcpu.h
	xen/include/xen/sched.h
	xen/arch/x86/smpboot.c

	How should I proceed to send the patch?

	Thanks,
	./Eli
