I now have a build of Xen 4.4 with XSA-154 going through the build
system.  For users who need it, it should be available on buildlogs
(via centos-virt-xen-testing) sometime later this afternoon.  The
signed version on mirrors may be delayed until tomorrow.

And that really will be the last Xen 4.4 XSA update I personally port. :-)

However, if anyone wants to push any further changes to 4.4, feel free
to send a pull request to this tree:

https://github.com/CentOS-virt7/xen

And I'll be happy to review it and push it through the CBS.  I've made
a detailed how-to, so hopefully it shouldn't be too difficult.

Peace,
