These are changeset numbers in the mercurial repository for xen-unstable (a 
changeset is roughly "a patch" from the development history).

If you were to clone a copy of the repository and build it, you could test for 
yourself whether it works.  You'd need to uninstall all the fedora Xen stuff 
first.

If you report the bug (plus how to reproduce) to them and mention those 
changesets in your report then they might be able to backport the fixes, I 
guess...  In which case, it would be helpful to them to know if those patches 
do fix your problem.  It'd be understandable if you didn't want to build Xen 
yourself, though.

Alternatively, it may well get fixed in a newer release of Fedora when they 
roll in an updated upstream Xen version.

Final thought: if we did verify that those changeset fixed the problem, 
perhaps they could be rolled into a point release of 3.1, then maybe Fedora 
could just pull that in (Keir?  thoughts?)

Cheers,
Mark
