02 -> 04  Make sense if you want to *test* the patches without merging
          with upstream qemu before.  For *merging* the patches I'd
          suggest to merge from upstream qemu instead, then wait for
          me rebasing the patchset (and dropping these patches).

05 -> 06  backend core.
07        switches the console to the new backend core.
08        xenfb.c -> xen_framebuffer.c rename.
09        switch framebuffer to new backend core.

05 + 06 alone are not useful as nobody uses the new backend core then.
Merging 07 too gives at least one user.  08+09 going in gives a second
user.  They are a nice cleanup and certainly make sense for
qemu-xen-unstable.
