Hi,

I am a bit concerned that this patch is going to start rotting if I
can't at least track the current xen-unstable.hg, or better still get it
merged.

I would really appreciate it if someone could take moments to comment on
the hypercall problem. Is adding a new hypercall, as the current patch
does, the best way? If so could someone point me to how to increase the
hypercall table size. If not, is it best to piggyback of the dom0_op
hypercall? Or is there some other prefered option?
