I'm using staging because it often contains bug fixes which is necessary
for booting Xen on my boards.

Using master means having least a week old Xen and cherry-pick some
patches from staging.

The latter may be difficult when the patch has dependency.

I think it's a good solution, building Xen ARM take less than 2 minutes
