0) The Kconfig symbol XEN_PRIVILEGED_GUEST got added to the mainline Linux repository in v2.6.37. It has never been used. It has always been a nop. 1) Its Kconfig entry is preceded with this comment: # Dummy symbol since people have come to rely on the PRIVILEGED_GUEST # name in tools.

This patch proposes to remove the XEN_PRIVILEGED_GUEST kernel configuration parameter defined in arch/x86/xen/Kconfig, but used nowhere in the makefiles and source code. This dummy parameter was added 3 years back, and it may make sense to remove it now, as the reasons to use it were not very clear. Signed-off-by: Michael Opdenacker <michael.opden...

...ption was changed to a menu configurable option then it would only give users the ability to compile out about 100 kbytes of code. As that option makes little sense to choose, and the option isn''t menu selectable anyway, then we can clean up some code by simply removing it. Also remove XEN_PRIVILEGED_GUEST as it''s just an alias for XEN_DOM0. I compile tested this on a latest pull using an F16 config. The compile succeeded and ''make oldconfig'' only removed these two options as expected. CONFIG_XEN_DOM0=y CONFIG_XEN_PRIVILEGED_GUEST=y Signed-off-by: Andrew Jones <drjone...
