Many of these are tools things which fall in my bailiwick.

4.8 is still in security support, but general support ended in June
this year.  I think many of your suggested patches are security bugs
and I think I would prefer just to take them all than to nitpick which
I want.

Are these commitids from xen.git#master and the corresponding
qemu-xen.git branch ?

Thanks,
Ian.
