[Pkg-xen-devel] patches from debian/patches into xen-unstable and 3.2

I would like to try to reduce the size of large pile of patches in
debian/patches by providing most of the relevant configurability the
upstream build system.

Would you approve of that ?  Do you have any opinions on how it ought
to be done ?

The current package gives the impression that the patches have just
sort of accumulated, so I think it might be best if I tried to divine
what the purpose of each one was and provided a way to achieve the
same objective.  That would naturally be somewhat disruptive for your
merging, but of course at the moment there seem to be merge conflicts
in the patch set very often so in the long run I hope for an
improvement.

Regards,
Ian.
