There are two patchsets out there:
#1 for upstream qemu:
http://kraxel.fedorapeople.org/patches/qemu-upstream/
#2 for qemu-xen:
http://kraxel.fedorapeople.org/patches/qemu-xen/
The patchsets are largely identical, thats why I don't post both.
I usually post only the upstream version and include a pointer to the
qemu-xen patches in the intro text for the patchset.
Differences come (a) from the fact that qemu-xen is old (these should go
away once Ian synced with upstream) and (b) the slightly different
ordering to make the qemu-xen patchset bisection-friendly.

Workflow could look like this:
(1) Ian merges upstream into qemu-xen.
(2) I'll rebase my patches to the resulting tree.
(3) Merge both patchsets, into the trees.
That should result in almost identical hw/xen* files in both trees, so
we don't end up with a big mess when Ian merges again.

Which patchset you are refering to? As far I know Ian & Samuel are
focusing on getting the changes to generic qemu code upstream (such as
serial and ide fixes which ran over the qemu-devel list already), not on
the xen support bits.
cheers,
Gerd
