Really really nice! Now my test results:

1.) patch time
I had been able to patch a XEN 2.6.16.38 and it produced rejects in the
following 3 files:
> include/asm-i386/page.h
> net/ipv4/tcp.c
> Makefile
The Makefile can be ignored, that's just the version string. The other two
rejects are easy to fix. In tcp.c it's just an #include and page.h is well
known to me from older vserver patches and also rather easy to fix (more or
less copy-and-paste from the .rej file).

2.) compile time
I had some problems with JFS, there are some constants used that aren't
defined elsewhere. The patch adds the two functions jfs_set_inode_flags and
jfs_sync_flags to fs/jfs/jfs_inode.c and most/all? of the constants used in
this two functions are undefined. But no problem for me as I don't need
JFS. I've just disabled it. No further compile time problems with
my .config.

3.) run time
I've just done some basic testing and until now all is working as expected.
But let me do some more testing :)

A big THANK YOU from my side! Now I can upgrade to XEN 3.0.4-1 without the
buggy Debian kernel.

Regards,
Markus
