Hello again,

Now that pv_ops dom0 is getting close to being 'ready' for 2.6.32,
it would be nice to have xenlinux patches for 2.6.32 aswell.. :)

I'm planning to compare and benchmark against each other.. 

I can give the novell patches a go myself, but always easier if someone
who already knows the stuff does it.. 

I'm probably going to do some tests/benchmarks next week if all goes well.

-- Pasi
