This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release. Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update release for currently deployed products. This request is not yet committed for inclusion in an Update release.
If we want any of these fixes we need patches for each fix which cleanly apply to our Xen 3.0.3 stack. It is not possible to simply cherry pick the upstream fixes. So I'm closing this WONTFIX. If any are required open a BZ for each desired item and provide the associated patch
