Then I am going to continue work on this. I think that this should be Xen 4.8 target. I drop a line on Xen-devel when I restart work on this issue. Stay tuned...

Sadly I am not able to devote 100% of my time to this project right now. Maybe it will happen when I finish our internal work. However, I think that there is another option. You can help with some stuff on this issue. This way we may finish whole project a bit earlier. Daniel PS I can post latest patchset (it does not contain all suggested fixes) rebased on latest master. This way you can continue your work in more friendly environment.

That way others will be able to rebase and hopefully move it forward. Xen stuff is rebased because we needed it internally. I will rebase GRUB2 patches for convenience too. I hope that I will post them somewhere by the end of this week. Daniel PS If you want to work on any part of this project please coordinate all stuff with me.

Fortunately I was able to reschedule less important stuff and it looks that I will be able to restart work on this project next week (100% of my time). I am going to release GRUB2 v3 patches first and then Xen v3 patches will follow. I hope that helps. If you have any questions please drop me a line.

There is a chance that they will be merged into 2.02 version. Restarting work on Xen side. I am going to post new version in 3-4 weeks. There are a lot of changes and fixes which must be made. If you need WIP version at some point then just drop me a line. I will post it as is on Xen-devel. I hope this work (maybe with some extra features) will be included in Xen 4.8 release. Stay tuned...
