Both make some sense.  We should push as much as we can of the XCP queue
up to xen-unstable, so that at least we get eventual consistency.
(Pushing directly into the 3.4-testing branch seems like the wrong way
to do it, and conflicts with Keir's current system of backports).

Some of the patches in the queue need fixing up before they go upstream
(e.g. because they're, erm, unpolished, or break configurations that we
didn't care about in XenServer) so this process isn't entirely trivial;
it's a matter of finding the man-hours to do it.

Independently of that, we should rebase to 3.4.2 in the next few weeks,
which will reduce the number of backports in the XCP queue.

Cheers,

Tim.
