Did a few simple tests on both Fedora 17 and CentOS 5.10 and found no new issues (all found are current bugs at
http://bugs.xenproject.org/xen/).

Looking good.

Unfortunately, we saw device pass-through failure with RHEL6u5 guest (only REHL6U5 is buggy). But it seems it only exists in one Sandy bridge EP machine. We are evaluating it now and will let you know if it turns out to be a bug.

Testing with libvirt or xl would be helpful.

* A patch fixing guest floating point support on ARM systems was
checked in.  Please run some programs that use the floating point
unit.

* A patch fixing an issue with device-passthru for HVM guests when the
VNC client attached.  Please test migration, in particular with and
without the VNC client attached; and device pass-through, with and
without the VNC client attached.  (Migration with a device passed
through is not supported.)
