Hey,
I realized I hadn't done my usual 'here is what goes in' for about half-a-year.
So catching up and doing it all at once.
v3.6:
- Fix a lot of bugs: Systems with MP BIOS failing, Systems with ACPI NUMA failing,
FLR in xen-pciback leaving the devices unusable, 32-bit PCI sounds cards in dom0
not working, fix crashes when using acpidump, fix crashes with CONFIG_MAX_DOMAIN_PAGES=512
- Make the P2M interaction on MMIO ranges use less memory during booting
(aka, Reuse existing P2M leafs).
- Simplification and cleanups in the code base. Coverity fixes
- Performance optimizations by caching TLS and GDT descriptors
- Performance optimizations in PTE page manipulations
- Xen MCE driver added (to see MCE events that Xen hypervisor gets)
- Xen PCPU driver added (to online/offline physical CPUs via dom0)
v3.7:
- Initial support for ARM working under Xen as both guest and initial domain.
- Security fixes.
- Fix RCU warning, add fallback code for old hypervisors, fix memory leaks in
gntdev driver, fix some pvops calls failing, Fixes in
xen-[kbd|fb|blk|net|hvc]-backend to deal with CLOSED transition
- Allow xen/privcmd to use v2 of MMAPBATCH command (and fixes for it)
- Support Xen backends to work with paged out grants (meaning work with HVM
guests that have its memory paged out)
- Performance optimization in xen/privcmd for migrating guests.
- Performance improvements when doing kdump for PVonHVM guests.
- Xen DBGP driver added (USB EHCI debug driver)
- FLR support in xen-pciback.
- Support wildcards in xen-pciback.hide=(*) argument parsing.
- Xen EFI support, and keyboard shift status flag.
- Late usage of Xen-SWIOTLB allowing PV PCI passthrough guest to boot without
'iommu=soft' as an argument and late initialization of SWIOTLB.
- Support more than 128GB in a PV guest.
- Cleanups in the initial pagetable creation.
v3.8:
- Persistent feature grant in xen-block system allowing greater performance.
- More fixes in the Xen-pciback for wildcard parsing
- Xen Processor Aggregator Device (PAD) added.
- Optimizations for xen/privcmd for ARM and PVH via new hypercall (add_to_physmap_range)
- Xen ARM can use the balloon driver
- Fixes for vcpu onlining/offlining, grant table initialization, parsing of cpu
onlining/offlining values, checks in xen-pciback, locking fixes in gtndev,
fix stack corruptions, fix xen_iret checks. xen-pciback DoSing dom0 with
messages, fix mmap batch ioctl error path.
- Further enh to allow PVHVM backend drivers (so moving dom0 functionality in guests)

That should have said Xen VESA EFI support. Thanks for spotting that.
