Which reminds me - didn't you want to rip out xend right away after 4.4 (which would render pointless the patch here)? Jan

I still want to do it before 4.5, this is more of a short term thing because people were sending me patches right now. Step one of the removal is to stop osstest from testing xend, I sent a patch for that a week or two ago. Ian.
