for the moment xen-unstable is the one recommended. the merge tree
didn't receive as much testing as xen-unstable. It should be reserved to
developers at the moment, but if users want to try it, we'll welcome
some feedback.

it's the way to go, but it hasn't yet had time to go throught the
proper amount of testing.. so there could be bad bugs lurking here and
there.
