+Xen Patches README
+------------------
+
+These patches are intended to be stacked on top of genpatches-base.
+
+Many of the patches included here are swiped from various sources which
+use their own four digit patch numbering scheme, so we are stuck with five
+digits to indiciate the source for easier tracking and re-syncing.
+
+Numbering
+---------
+
+0xxxx Gentoo, not related to Xen. (in case we pull something from extras)
+1xxxx XenSource, upstream Xen patch for 2.6.18
+2xxxx Redhat, we use their Xen patch for >=2.6.20
+3xxxx Debian, we use their security fixes for 2.6.18
+5xxxx Gentoo, Xen and other fixes for Redhat and/or Debian patches.
+
+Patches
+-------
+
+20950_linux-2.6.20.14-xen-3.1.0.patch
+ Main Xen patch
+
+20xxx-?
+ Various bug-fix patches from Redhat.
+
+30037_amd64-zero-extend-32bit-ptrace-xen.patch
+ [SECURITY] Zero extend all registers after ptrace in 32-bit entry path
+ (Xen).
+ See CVE-2007-4573
+
+50001_make-install.patch
+ Handle make install in a semi-sane way that plays nice with
+ split domU/dom0 kernels.
+
+50002_always-enable-xen-genapic.patch
+ Compile fix for non-SMP (UP) kernels. Since UP support is broken in
+ upstream Xen I'm not sure if I trust it or not. :-P
+
+50003_console-tty-fix.patch
+ Steal tty1-63 as the upstream Xen release does so people don't get
+ any supprises. Redhat switched to using the special Xen tty device.
+
+50004_quirks-no-smp-fix.patch
+ Another compile fix for non-SMP (UP) kernels.
+
+50006_pgetable-build-fix.patch
+ Fix a function re-definition error when PAE is not enabled.
+
+50007_disable-highpte.patch
+ CONFIG_HIGHPTE can cause serious problems so lets save people's
+ sanity, avoid killing kittens, and end all war by disabling it.
