Hi! :-)

Mmm... Interesting. I was indeed assuming that everything was upstream
already!

That being said, if it were a DomU kernel issue, I expected the kernel
itself to complain, rather than libxl and Xen. In fact, from the logs
above, I think this is all happening during domain creation, when the
kernel does not yet have a say in it.

As I said, I'll try to have a look, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to
by today...

Yeah, well, if we really are still missing it, the sooner we get it in,
the better! :-)

Thanks and Regards,
