When porting fixes from other projects, it is customary to identify so
in the commit message.  In this case, the fix you've ported is
http://xenbits.xen.org/gitweb/?p=xen.git;a=commitdiff;h=b7dce29d9faf3597d009c853ed1fcbed9f7a7f68

Here is an example of how Xen ports fixes from Linux for the drivers
that we share.

If you want to crib from one, this is the testcase I made for Xen.

http://xenbits.xen.org/docs/xtf/test-memop-seg.html

With the impending KVM/PVH work which is ongoing, it will soon be easy
to run Xen's HVM test suite unmodified under KVM, but we're not quite
there yet.
