I've looked through it and the transformations look good to me:

Acked-by: Ian Campbell <ian.campbell at citrix.com>

There were a couple of references to xendConfigVersion remaining in
comments on src/xen/xen_driver.c.

There was also po/* which I presume some sort of semiautomated update will
strip eventually.

I'm not sure what to make of the references under docs/api_extension/.

I tested this on ARM with "Xen: support maxvcpus in xm and xl config" on
top and it worked.

Ian.
