David,

Is this the proper qemu-xen snapshot to use for xen-4.2.4 ?

http://xenbits.xen.org/gitweb/?p=qemu-upstream-4.2-testing.git;a=commit;h=6d17c397dfadb29e641d5da1eb3381d240decedc

Do we need any other patches in that?

Also, we are currently using
blktap-9960138790b9d3610b12acd153bba20235efa4f5.tar.gz .. is that still
the best version to use?

Thanks,
Johnny Hughes
