Your mail client eats patches (at the very least, hard tabs become
soft). I haven't applied this patch, or the 'dump guest core if
enable-dump true' patch because of this problem.

The two you sent links for applied okay, and I manually applied the
fix to xc_ptrace.c for paravirtualised guests.

I'll take the other two if you send links, or as attachments, or if
you work out how to fix your mail client. :-) I somewhat prefer the
last option as it's easier to automatically pull the patch out of the
email.
