Xen devel - Oct 2005 - RE: [PATCH] [VT] SMP VMX guest AP bring up need calldo_boot_vcpu in hypervisor

Hi Keir, this patch changes common code of xen hypervisor, but seems we
have to, because current call to do_boot_vcpu is always from domains,
however, for SMP VMX guest AP bring up, we need call it from xen
hypervisor,
so we''d like to split it.
What''s your opinion?

I''d like to see it in the context of a larger patch that shows how the 
new ''internal'' function is used. I don''t really have
anything against
this approach, so we''ll probably take the patch with no complaint.

I''m going to be changing that part of the hypercall interface shortly 
(to introduce a new more generic ''vcpu_op'' hypercall). It is
bound to
conflict with your patch, but you should finc it easy to fix up.
