xsm deassign hook

xsm deassign hook

[Shakeel Butt]

Hi,

In xen-4.1-testing.hg at xen/arch/x86/domctl.c:876, xsm_assign_device
should be xsm_deassign_device. In xen-unstable.hg, this code was moved
to xen/drivers/passthrough/iommu.c and got fixed. I am a newbie here
and want to know what is the criteria for moving patches from
xen-unstable to xen-*-testing.

Hi.

Backports are done by requests on the list, cc'd to keir@xen.org who
maintains the -testing repositories.

If the unstable patch applies cleanly, just name its changeset with your
recommendation, but if it is not a trivial backport, it is generally
appreciated if you formulate a patch.

In this case however, it should be trivial, so just name the
xen-unstable changeset.
