Thanks for the list pointer, I found the patches thread. I'm registered
to the xen-devel list, but I don't read it often, because it's too much
about Xen internal code (which is quite complex and which I don't need
to know about: I don't plan on contributing to the code itself), and
there's too much traffic. So pointers to the list are really appreciated.

After reading the patches sent to the list, indeed, there's lots of
changes in the ocaml itself. Is the plan to have it in a Xen 4.1.3?
