+ * Update to new upstream version 4.16.1, which also contains security fixes
+ for the following issues:
+ - Racy interactions between dirty vram tracking and paging log dirty
+ hypercalls
+ XSA-397 CVE-2022-26356
+ - Multiple speculative security issues
+ XSA-398 (no CVE yet)
+ - race in VT-d domain ID cleanup
+ XSA-399 CVE-2022-26357
+ - IOMMU: RMRR (VT-d) and unity map (AMD-Vi) handling issues
+ XSA-400 CVE-2022-26358 CVE-2022-26359 CVE-2022-26360 CVE-2022-26361
+ * Note that the following XSA are not listed, because...
+ - XSA-396 has patches for the Linux kernel.
+ * Don't ship NEWS in libxen* packages. Instead, only ship relevant NEWS
+ items for actual hypervisor and/or utils packages they belong to.
+ (Closes: #962267)
+ * d/control: make xen-hypervisor-common arch specific, just like
+ xen-utils-common.
+ * d/control: stop recommending qemu-system-x86 on arm, because qemu is not
+ being built with xen support on arm...
+ * Add a patch for tools/libs/light/Makefile which prevents build.o and
+ build.opic to be rebuilt unneededly during the package install phase,
+ causing a FTBFS because it triggers the use of ccache, which is not
+ allowed in the install phase of building the Debian packages.
+
+ Improvements related to Qemu integration: [Michael Tokarev]
+ * d/xen-utils-common.xen.init: properly disable qemu monitor/serial/parallel
+ devices for qemu started at boot.
+ * debian: switch from recommending qemu-system-x86 to qemu-system-xen and
+ mention this change in the NEWS file.
+ * Add patch "give meaningful error message if qemu device model is
+ unavailable" to give a useful error message only in case the domU needs
+ the qemu device model which is not installed, instead of giving a warning
+ about missing qemu even if it is not used by this domain.
+
+ Documentation, grammar and spelling fixes and improvements:
+ * d/control: drop obsolete paragraph about separate xen linux kernel package
+ * d/control: Harmonize the capitalization of the 'Xen' word [Diederik de Haas]
+ * d/control: Improve spelling and grammar [Diederik de Haas]`
