Xen devel - Jan 2005 - save/restore solution

Hi all,
I reported that I was having a problem restoring a saved domain.  I have 
found a fix that appears to solve my issue. 

During restore, time_resume is called which tries to call init_tsc as 
timer_tsc_init.init.  Both init_tsc and timer_tsc_init are declared 
_init or __initdata and are therefore no longer available when the 
domain is restored.  Removing the __init and __initdata specifiers from 
declarations in 
linux-2.6.10-xen-sparse/arch/xen/i386/kernel/timers/timer_tsc.c appears 
to solve the problem.

Well spotted! This bug has been lurking for a while, and has been biting
people using certain gcc versions. 

thanks,
Ian
