* CVE-2015-2752: Long latency MMIO mapping operations are not preemptible (XSA-125 boo#922705)
* CVE-2015-2756: Unmediated PCI command register access in qemu (XSA-126 boo#922706)
* CVE-2015-2751: Certain domctl operations may be abused to lock up the host (XSA-127 boo#922709)
* CVE-2015-2151: Hypervisor memory corruption due to x86 emulator flaw (boo#919464 XSA-123)
* CVE-2015-2045: Information leak through version information hypercall (boo#918998 XSA-122)
* CVE-2015-2044: Information leak via internal x86 system device emulation (boo#918995 (XSA-121)
* CVE-2015-2152: HVM qemu unexpectedly enabling emulated VGA graphics backends (boo#919663 XSA-119)

* boo#903680: Problems with detecting free loop devices on Xen guest startup
* boo#861318: xentop reports "Found interface vif101.0 but domain 101 does not exist."
* boo#901488: Intel ixgbe driver assigns rx/tx queues per core resulting in irq problems on servers with a large amount of CPU cores
* boo#910254: SLES11 SP3 Xen VT-d igb NIC doesn't work
* boo#912011: high ping latency after upgrade to latest SLES11SP3 on xen Dom0
* boo#906689: let systemd schedule xencommons after network-online.target and remote-fs.target so that xendomains has access to remote shares
The following functionality was enabled or enhanced:
* Enable spice support in qemu for x86_64
* Add Qxl vga support
* Enhancement to virsh/libvirtd "send-key" command (FATE#317240)
