It didn't get reviewed because I couldn't figure out what you wanted. As 
far as I can tell you're _thinking_ of adding changes to drivers that 
are not in fact even used, nor will they _ever_ be used since we won't 
have a Lucid DOM0 host unless we provide one via an LTS backported 
kernel. In which case the point is moot.
