Hi Jeremy, all, Sorry this took so long, spent last week in Japan at OSDL conf then netconf. After several false starts, I ended up with a very simple implementation, which clashes significantly with your work since then 8(. I've pushed the patches anyway, but it's going to be significant work for me to re-merge them, so I wanted your feedback first. The first patch simply changes

Hi Andi, This is a series of patches based on your latest queue (as of the other day, at least). It includes: - the most recent patch to compute the appropriate amount of percpu space to allocate, using a separate reservation for modules where needed. - make the percpu sections page-aligned, so that percpu variables can be page aligned if needed (which is used by gdt_page) -

Hi, Is the http://xenbits.xensource.com/linux-2.6-xen.hg tree still being updated? if not, what''s the preferred Linux tree to track that has all of the Xen bits?

Hi Andi, This series of patches implements the Xen paravirt-ops interface. It applies to 2.6.21-rc7 + your patches + the last batch of pv_ops patches I posted. This patch generally restricts itself to Xen-specific parts of the tree, though it does make a few small changes elsewhere. These patches include: - some helper routines for allocating address space and walking pagetables - Xen
