I'm asked to perform a XEN 4.9.0-rcX testing on Renesas R-Car Gen3 board 
(Salvator-X, H3).

Could you please clarify if this [1] is still relevant?
And if the smoke test described here [2] is enough for RC testing?

Removing the announce and user list.

Yes

I will let Julien answer the rest: the main goal is really to ensure that
Xen 4.9 works with the HW you care about.

The smoke test will create VMs and check if it boots. Feel free to test 
more if you have time (e.g device passthrough, network traffic...).

Let us know the results :).

Tested the release on Qualcomm Datacenter Technologies QDF2400 platform (Linux kernel 4.11). Basic DOM0 boot works fine after
disabling pl011 serial and SMMUv3. This is as expected.

Xen has a driver for pl011 UART, so could you details why you need to 
disable it?

With the build fix patch [1] the RC is tested on M3ULCB (Renesas M3) 
board [2].
System build done with Yocto.

Following is functional:
     - Dom0 run
     - DomU (with no HW) run
     - PV NET function - DomU runs with NFS root
     - PV Block function - in DomU copy from xvda to NFS root folder.

It was not performed raisin test because raisin failed to start on Yocto 
issued system, i.e.:
     root@m3ulcb-domx:~/raisin# ./raise test
     No config file found, copying default config
     [raisin] I don't know distro unknown. It might be missing packages.
     [raisin] I don't know distro unknown. It might be missing packages.
     [raisin] I don't know distro unknown. Cannot install packages.
