Thanks, I've removed the todo banner since there is some content now
(I've not reviewed it in detail, since I don't know about the h/w, but
it all looks very plausible).

Earlier you said:

I think that some of the Linaro specific stuff on the Arndale page is no
longer needed, e.g. I run mainline u-boot and Linux just fine on one
these days.

So I think it is probably worth trying to refactor into a generic Exynos
part and board specific details, but that's not urgent for the 4.5
release.

Anyway, not asking you to tackle all that. I've added it to
http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_Document_Days/TODO, along with my previous
suggestion to get rid of the duplicated lists on the main ARM page. I
might try and have a go at that on the next doc day.

Ian.
