If not what's the plan? I think we have to keep any OS working on top on Xen 4.4 as people may want to retrieve the latest kernel for drivers bug fixes... For running a previous kernel on Xen 4.5, then it will still be buggy. It might be worse to backport thise series on LTS kernel (i.e at least 3.14). Regards, -- Julien Grall
