We discussed this IRL and are going to resurrect the linux-arm-xen
branch following the Canonical stable v3.16 branch.

Stefano,

Please could you pull from git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/linux.git and
the force push::

The commit pointed to by tag v3.16.7-ckt4 (i.e. v3.16.7-ckt4~0) to the
input tree#branch at: 
        git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sstabellini/xen.git#linux-arm-xen
        
and v3.16.7-ckt4~1 (i.e. the commit before the tag) to the output
tree#branch at:
        git://xenbits.xen.org/linux-pvops.git#tested/linux-arm-xen

Pushing the ~1 to the output will force a test run, once that is done I
will push the osstest patches.

Ian.
