make xen/stable-2.6.32.x pvops branch the default?

[Pasi Kärkkäinen]

Hello,

Should we switch xen/stable-2.6.32.x to be the default branch in xen-unstable? 
And possibly in xen-4.0-testing.hg aswell? 

That's the long-term maintained and the branch most people are using anyway..

Hi Pasi,
I'm using the default branch which is stable-2.6.31.x now but if the 
long-term maintained one would be the .32.x one I think it's better to 
have it as default since sooner or later I'll have to recompile the 
.32.x version since .31.x won't be maintained so make it a default for 
at least xen-4.1-unstable and newer versions of xen-unstable could be a 
good idea not to force other to clone/pull and recompile the another 
branch than the default one.

Thanks,
Michal

Yes, I was just thinking that.

On top of that, what about that udev(new version) race condition? I
think James and Bastian both provided a patch - does it make sense to
merge it in both branches (.31 and .32)?

I've got James' patch in .32 at the moment.  I was about to apply
Bastien's fix, but Jan raised some comments, but Bastien didn't reply. 
So I stared into space for a while.

I'd like to get a definitive fix that everyone agrees on.

Is there also a problem in .31?  Is it triggered by a new udev rather
than a kernel version?
