xen upstream back then ported forward their own patches *and* everybody
expected their patches to be merged. earliest merge plans were floating
for 2.6.15.
reliance on external patches is always bad, kvm is in kernel.
it doesn't try to duplicate dog and cat, but uses linux scheduler
itself and so on..
also if release team still decides to push for 2.6.25, which is
possible if 2.6.26 turns out bad, you still have much less xen
features.
