Well, not really regressions in the view of the testing system,
because the "tested" kernel tree was only just created so has all the
failures, and xen-unstable was pushed manually recently.

OK, I guess I could have a different branch for my testing which
tracks a different branch of yours.  I've called this one "linux",
as in
  Subject: [linux test] 2057: tolerable FAIL - PUSHED
but perhaps I should rename it ?
