The number has been growing. For an x86 build, if I exclude IA64 and XSM
components (usually not built) I count about 200k LOC. If I further exclude
header files (generally don't have much code in them) then I end up about
150k LOC.

So that's a more reasonable estimate in my opinion, at about half Joanna's
figure. Obviously this is still rather larger than historical figures for
Xen version 1 or Xen version 2.
