OK, thank you very much for your encouragement! And next, I shall try to
provide another patches for Xen (hope I can finish within this month).
And I should be more careful about the patches which I shall send.

Also I want to consult: "Is there a common test for Xen"? If there is,
please let me know, and I should try to perform the common test before
send any patches.

Welcome any additional ideas, suggestions, and completions.

Thanks.
