I was wondering if you could help. I've this bug-fix:
[PATCH 1/3] x86/paravirt: PTE updates in k(un)map_atomic need to be

that you picked up some time ago in your tree and then dropped. I am not sure why it
was dropped but perhaps it is b/c I also had that patch in my linux-next and your tool
decided to drop it. Anyhow, was wondering if you would be OK giving it your
Ack or just pulling it in your tree for 3.2.

These two:
[PATCH 2/3] xen: use generic functions instead of xen_{alloc,
[PATCH 3/3] xen: map foreign pages for shared rings by updating the

xen: map foreign pages for shared rings by updating the PTEs directly

added in 3.1 with a more selective way instead of using the big hammer.

I was wondering if you would be OK ACK-ing those two or sticking them
in your tree for 3.2.

All of the patches are in:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen.git stable/for-akpm-3.2

and the last two have also been sitting for some time in linux-next (and the first
one was there but it looks like I forgot to put it back there as I had thought
that Linus had picked it up.. argh).
