Hi all,

We are facing some issues with Xen dom0.
Some were fixed in RC2:
	http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2016-July/043760.html
and there still have some other issues.

It seems Xen is becoming less attractive:
	- we do not have a lot of test reports or feedbacks
	- there is no maintainer for DPDK on Xen
	- we are still waiting for the Xen netfront PMD

I wonder wether it still makes sense to maintain this code or not?
In case of positive reply, it would be nice to have the name of
someone responsible for this code, i.e. a maintainer.

Thanks
