Do you think you'll have those changes ready for 2.6.29?  Would merging core
SR-IOV support now make that any more likely?

I'm not sure about readiness for 2.6.29.  I can tell you that as soon as I get 
a Xen Dom0 kernel with these API's included it will take me less than a day to 
convert over to them from the current drivers I have that are using an older 
API from back in August.  The drivers are mostly functional, they have a few 
bugs.  I could do some quick regression testing to make sure that the API 
changes haven't broken anything and then some bug fixes to get everything ready 
for release.  Maybe two or three weeks for the major bugs.  I'll be out over 
the Christmas holidays so that puts us into middle or late January if I got the 
Xen Dom0 kernel today.  That seems unlikely but it gives you an idea of the 
time required.
