I just had Xen 4.3-unstable changeset 26004 compiled, installed and 
working, after applying Jean David Techer's revision 25240 patchset. 
BUT, as usual, I get the Windows HVM domU device manager error code 43 
and error code 10.

I have also migrated to Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS SERVER Edition. My current 
Linux dom0 kernel is 3.6.1.
