Thank you very much for understanding!

All right.
I merged Jeremy's and Konrad's branches (the ones you just merged on
linux-next) on top of linux 2.6.36 rc8, then I rebased my series on top
of the result.
Please checkout this branch:

git://xenbits.xen.org/people/sstabellini/linux-pvhvm.git 2.6.36-rc8-initial-domain-v5

and let me know if it is suitable, it shouldn't have any merge
conflicts.

Cheers,

Stefano
