Had attached the patch as a binary stream by mistake (default for my
mail client). Not sure if thats acceptable for the Xen list. Fixed it.

Hi

The attached patch implements the idle=poll option in the kernel when
running on Xen. This causes the kernel to use a polling loop rather
than hypercall down to block. I have found this useful to profile the
amount of sleep cycles when using xenoprof, there may be other uses.

Thanks
