Hmm... that patch didn't apply to latest.
But only the big indentation-changing hunk
failed, and it was one new line and the rest
just white-space diffs, so no problem.
and even if it hadn't, "git diff -w" makes it
easy to see only the essential changes.
Sorry, I should have made it clearer that the set of patches apply in
series, and are dependant on the STREQ patch too. The ordering was:
strcmp-cleanup
xen-disk-bus
xen-input-bus
qemu-name-arg
xen-bootloader
kvm-vcpus
default-bus
Regards,
Dan.
