We already do this, we just need to update the comment.

Yep, I'll make those changes.

Good question.
Traditionally Xen stuff goes to Linus directly via one of the Xen trees
(Konrad's or mine), but since this is the very first Xen patch series
for arm64 if you prefer I can submit a pull request to you instead.
Just let me know, I am happy either way.

In any case, are you OK with sending it upstream during the next merge
window?
