The second we seem to have a fix. The only question is how many patches
to cherry pick? bc141e8ca562 is non-urgent as it is merely superficial
and not needed for functionality.
5a4087004d1a is a workaround for Linux kernel breakage, but how likely
are we to see that fixed in the Linux kernel packages? The fix is
well-contained and needed for some highly popular ARM devices.
I suspect that depends on how highly motivated Debian is
to support those highly popular ARM devices not just with
Linux, but with Linux as a Xen Dom0 on those devices. Even
if they are highly popular devices, what matters, ultimately,
I think, is if there is a reason for them to be popular as
devices that run a Xen dom0. Then maybe there is a chance
to get some patches into the Linux kernel for this purpose.
Just my two cents, FWIW.
