> Jeremy, I am not sure when/if these are going to go into the longterm branch. But I think these should go into xen/next-2.6.32 atleast for the benefit of folks who build both dom0 & domU out of your tree(the "make kernels" target in xen source).

I just pulled it into xen/next-2.6.32 since it seems too fiddly properly
backport it to plain 2.6.32 and it doesn't really affect many users
(since as I understand it these just fix checkpoints, which have
probably been broken for a long time without complaints).
