pci-front driver in mainline 2.6.37

Hi Folks :

Can you guys confirm whether the PCI front end driver is available in the
mainline 2.6.37 kernel that was just released? Xen wiki says : "Yes.
Starting with kernel.org Linux 2.6.37 Xen PV domU PCI passthrough is
supported out-of-the-box, ie. xen-pcifront driver is included in the
standard kernel!"

However, both the announcement mail : https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/1/4/266 and
the kernel newbies 2.6.37 page : http://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_2_6_37
does not mention xen at all!

Thanks,
ani

PS : please do a reply-all as I am not subscribed to the list.

Those are not exhaustive lists of everything which went into the kernel
in this release cycle. You need to look at the git logs for that.
