[kernel-xen] xen-4.4.0-0.4 released to testing repo

[Steven Haigh]

I *believe* that this will be included in 4.4.1 - which from what I
understand is just around the corner...

If you can, put this in the bug tracker and we'll take a look at it to
make sure they are included with 4.4.1.

At this stage, my main concern is that the packages actually work as
intended. (ie with PV, HVM, and HVM+PV). I have tested purely PV and it
seems to work well - however I obviously can't test against all
different possible configurations.
