Not as much as I would like.

I've tested normal PV domU operation and live migration and that's about
it. I've not tested anything involving hardware interrupts (so no
passthrough, dom0, msi etc).

The patches are currently based on trees in linux-next since they depend
on your, Konrad's and Stefano's trees (especially Stefano's, I think) so
I don't yet have a stable base for a branch. Once those flow through I
can produce a proper branch.
