Re: [PATCH v3 00/23] Introduce Xen support on ARM
Russell, sorry for not CC'ing you on the entire patch series in the past, I'll do it in the next iteration of the series (that TBH is nearly identical to this one apart from being 3.6-rc5 based). Are you happy with it? Given that the changes are entirely contained within arch/arm/xen and arch/arm/include/asm/xen (apart from patch #21 that is a generic ARM fix), should this patch series go through you or Arnd?
