now running Xen 4.20-rc in test



I'm now running the bleeding edge of Xen from git as of today on one of
my less critical servers.  Currently it's using the moniker 4.20-rc, so
I'm guessing they're getting ready for a new release soon.

The dom0 and domU systems are all still identical to what I was running
with 4.18 from pkgsrc, i.e. a rather out-of-date -current in dom0, the
same again in a domU, plus a netbsd-10 and a daily -current from August,
as well as a FreeBSD-14.

I had test booted the kernel some weeks ago and it brought up dom0 OK,
but of course it wouldn't work with the old tools, so I've had to build
and install them as well.

It was a bit of a bear to build and I still can't get some parts to
build (firmware, qemu, tests), and a good number of minor changes are
needed to make it build and work on NetBSD, and the check-endbr issue
remains, but it seems to be working OK for the little I've done with it
so far.

Now to wait 7+ days to see what happens to the clocks.....

In the mean time I'm going to try to see if I can get any traction with
pushing the various NetBSD and such fixes back upstream.
