Bug Description
Several features which have been requested to support are part of Xen-4.7. Backporting the code for those is high risk and effort:

There is no changes/news file which could be diffed, however the Xen project website has a features page (if that helps): https:/
I have a release candidate of the new package uploaded to my PPA (along with qemu and libvirt built against the new Xen version):

PLEASE NOTE: the PPA is just to prove test compiles worked. I would like to upload packages with proper version numbers once the FFE is accepted (also ensuring that qemu and libvirt get correct no-change rebuilds).

Ran my regression testing after dist-upgrading Xen from my PPA. None of the problems reported are related to Xen. The upgrade step that failed was successfully re-tried and the problems of the security-qrt test are due missing or incorrect dependency declarations.
