Secondly, don't expect it to get merged immediately especially if it's a big patch, or to something obscure like this. The point of putting it in bugzilla is that it will be visible when we're next planning a release and people are looking through the open tickets for things to merge. The main problem with something like this specific example is probably just that none of the core people have any knowledge of Xen so it's hard for us to review. My normal procedure for anything which touches the system call interface is to review the proposed changes against the kernel code to make sure that they appear to be correct, but that is harder the less familiar I am with the system calls in question.
