Done.

Is there a deadline for this list to become golden?

Also, we can insert projects under the http://kernelnewbies.org/OPWIntro
as a "Linux and Xen" if there is a project that would be more of
"in the Linux land" type. Are folks OK with that? We only have one
intern slot.

Right now the one that I can think of that would fit within this is:

-  "VCPUOP_register_vcpu_time_memory_area" - backport and fix it, make
   sure that glibc works, run benchamrks, etc. That would also entail some
   looking at rdstc, gettimeofday calls and all of that to figure out
   where/what holes there are with Linux PV and HVM guests in this area.

-  Implement the 'multi-MSI' hypercall in the Linux kernel. Jan posted
   an RFC patch.

 - Implement proper PAT "sandbox". hpa wants a software translation lookup
   table - similar to how guests MTRR values are looked up in the Xen.

I can mentor them all - though I would appreciate some backup (Boris?)

Yes/No?


Lars, Thank you for taking this up while I was out!
