Thanks Daniel.

It looks to me like this patch series adds capabilities that a later
patch series will use.  The patch series itself looks okay to me
(though, I do find the multiple copyright statements in the middle of
xen.h confusing).  However, I'd like to see the code with the end
results before committing the framework code.
