I said in the 0/6 patch, but should have repeated here:

The final patch requires that XENMEM_add_to_physmap_range be implemented
for x86 on the hypervisor side. For inspiration the ARM version can be
found at <1350314444-17148-1-git-send-email-ian.campbell@citrix.com>
(and will likely be in xen-unstable soon).

In the end I checked it in yesterday.

Sure, no problem.

Ian.
