Re: [Xen-devel] Xen 4.7 Test Day Instructions for RC2+ : Call to action for people who added new features / functionality to Xen 4.7

[Lars Kurth <lars.kurth.xen@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I added the following sections based on git logs to man pages. Authors are on 
the CC list and should review and modify (or suggest edits by replying to this 
thread). I added/updated/added TODO's to:

I do have some questions, to ...
- Konrad/Ross: is there any documentation for xSplice which I have missed?
- Julien: Any ARM specific stuff you want people to test?
- Doug: are there any docs / tests for KCONFIG you want to push
- George: are there any manual tests for credit 2 hard affinity, for hotplug 
disk backends (drbd, iscsi, &c) and soft reset for HVM guests that should be 
added?

For the following sections there are some TODO's - please verify and modify and 
once OK, remove the TODO from the wiki pages.
