A reason why you can't use the stable kernel updates?

I wasn't sure how long they would be in coming -- I could wait if that
is preferred but it makes it hard to work on graphical installer for Xen
in the meantime (which I'm not sure could go in now anyway so perhaps
it's a moot point)

as the fix is upstream and localised, there is no reason not to add
it directly to the sid branch as you are the xen maintainer.

I'll do that then, I wasn't going to bother if there was a new stable
release ASAP with it in but it seems it'll be at least a few days.

The fix is in 27-rc4 so I won't bother with trunk.
