I have pinged the bug, and therefore Ben Hutchings, politely, but he hasn't responded, and I don't think it would be wise to do this without his consent. Perhaps you can ask for his consent. If he gives it, I will do the git-send-email to the kernel. I am not going to ask him. I have already done so on BTS with polite pings. Maybe he will listen to you if you ask him. You are a member of the Debian Xen Team. As you can see from other messages on this list, I am suspect and unwelcome by not a few people who hang out on this list, so obviously I am not the best person to ask Ben for permission to submit his patch to upstream Linux.
