since this isn't the first series from you recently spamming
xen-devel, may I ask that you don't Cc entire series to lists
which are involved with perhaps just one out of the many patches?
IMO Cc lists should be compiled on a per-patch basis; the cover
letter may of course be sent to the union of all of them.

Thanks much,
Jan
