I have pinged the bug, and therefore Ben Hutchings, politely,
but he hasn't responded, and I don't think it would be wise to
do this without his consent. Perhaps you can ask for his consent.
If he gives it, I will do the git-send-email to the kernel.
I am not going to ask him. I have already done so on BTS
with polite pings. Maybe he will listen to you if you ask him.
You are a member of the Debian Xen Team. As you can
see from other messages on this list, I am suspect and
unwelcome by not a few people who hang out on this list,
so obviously I am not the best person to ask Ben for
permission to submit his patch to upstream Linux.
Best regards,
Chuck
