The final change deadline is currently 26th November. That may not be an 
absolute deadline, but you have a better chance of the libvirt team 
accepting changes before then.

Whenever the patches land upstream I'll be happy to pull them into F18. Even
if they don't show up for a few months we can always just push an F18 update
after GA. Of course, sooner would be better :)

I noticed today that a patch for libvirt to work with libxl from xen 4.2 
has been sent to the libvir-list 
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2012-November/msg01119.html

I did a bit of testing and got the F18 libvirt to build against xen 4.2 
(the patch needed some minor tweaks). I haven't tested if it actually 
works.

Cool! Although, changelog (and my recollection of a previous discussion
about this) seems to suggest it is more about avoiding using the
libxl-driver when Xen<=4.1 than other things... Maybe Jim can give us
more insights about it?

Me neither, but I think I can give it a try (next week), do you have
pkgs? Should I build it myself?

Thanks and Regards,
Dario
