Remaining patches for 4.7 and anticipated release date

Remaining patches for 4.7 and anticipated release date

[Wei Liu]

Committers,

I have some patches outstanding. Here is the list:

1. xen/arm: build: add missed dependency for head.S (either v1 or v2)
2. x86/mce: handle reserved domain ID in XEN_MC_msrinject
3. Revert "x86/hvm: add support for pcommit instruction"
4. xen/serial: Fix incorrect length of strncmp for dtuar

We shall commit this by tomorrow.

Realistically I don't expect them to have impact on real world user. So
we can probably release after we get a push. Let's aim to release on
Friday or next Monday. Does this sound plausible?

Wei.

May I recommend Monday? Friday is at the end of the week and sometimes things can go wrong as people head out for the weekend.

Thanks!

Unfortunately we need to revert one more patch and do another RC. So we
probably need a few more days until we release 4.7.
