This series takes one more step towards cpu-ification of lguest. As for rusty's last suggestion, I get rid of the whole bunch of "struct lguest *lg = cpu->lg" statements around by using lg_cpu as our base structure wherever it matters. (this saves us 11 lines)

pmd_present() is expected to test positive after pmdp_mknotpresent() as the PMD entry still points to a valid huge page in memory. pmdp_mknotpresent() implies that given PMD entry is just invalidated from MMU perspective while still holding on to pmd_page() referred valid huge page thus also clearing pmd_present() test. This creates the following situation which is counter intuitive.

This series renames pmd_mknotpresent() as pmd_mkinvalid(). Before that it drops an existing pmd_mknotpresent() definition from powerpc platform which was never required as it defines it's pmdp_invalidate() through subscribing __HAVE_ARCH_PMDP_INVALIDATE. This does not create any functional change. This rename was suggested by Catalin during a previous discussion while we were trying to change

Greetings, after Carsten pitched CMM2 on the kvm mini summit here is a repost of version 5 of the guest page hinting patches. The code is still the same but has been adapted to the latest git level. -- blue skies, Martin. "Reality continues to ruin my life." - Calvin.

After way to many months here is the fifth version of the guest page hinting patches. Compared to version four a few improvements have been added: - Avoid page_host_discards() calls outside of page-states.h - The discard list is now implemented via the page_free_discarded hook and architecture specific code. - PG_state_change page flag has been replaced with architecture specficic

I''m sure everyone has seen the drop of VMI patches for Linux at this point, but just in case, the link is included below. I''ve read this version of the VMI spec and have made my way through most of the patches. While I wasn''t really that impressed with the first spec wrt Xen, the second version seems to be much more palatable. Specifically, the code inlining and
