Here's a first attempt at splitting up paravirt_ops into more specific chunks. Its pretty clunky and chunky; mostly just a lot of replacement. The grouping of ops is very first cut; I'm open to suggestions about what groups should exist and what ops they each should contain. The only slightly subtle part is that I've kept the structures wrapped in a paravirt_ops structure,

Hello all, Here's a new version of the paravirt_ops x86_64 patch. With this message, I'm sending an incremental patch. The complete patches can be found , from now on, at http://et.redhat.com/~gcosta/paravirt_ops/ The main aim of this new update, is to fix a critical bug, namely, Rusty's name. However, I took the opportunity to write some new less important pieces of code,

Replace all the open-coded macros for generating calls with a pair of more general macros (__PVOP_CALL/VCALL), and redefine all the PVOP_V?CALL[0-4] in terms of them.

Hi Andi, Here's a repost of the paravirt_ops update series I posted the other day. Since then, I found a few potential bugs with patching clobbering, cleaned up and documented paravirt.h and the patching machinery.

Some of these boot hooks do not need to be patched, in fact, it is better not to patch them at all and thus keep them totally private.

Hi Andi, This series of patches updates paravirt_ops in various ways. Some of the changes are plain cleanups and improvements, and some add some interfaces necessary for Xen. The brief overview: add-MAINTAINERS.patch - obvious remove-CONFIG_DEBUG_PARAVIRT.patch - no longer needed paravirt-nop.patch - mark nop operations consistently paravirt-pte-accessors.patch - operations to pack/unpack

Hi all, I've been working on a port of paravirt_ops for the x86_64 architectures for a couple of days. Here's the result so far. I'm posting it soon for early cooments. The more, the better. It's obviously based on the previous work for i386, with the needed modifications. By now, I'm able to boot a bare metal kernel, but there are still some known issues, that are in my TODO
