Xen devel - Jun 2005 - PATCH: Full shadow translate mode domUs

This patch will allow the execution of domains in full shadow-translate 
mode.  It adds a new builder, "linuxtranslate", which will build the 
domain assuming a fully translated domU (pfns starting at 0 and going up 
incrementally).

To use it:
  1) enable CONFIG_XEN_SHADOW_MODE and CONFIG_XEN_SHADOW_TRANSLATE_MODE in 
the domU build config
  2) in the xen config file, add the following line
    build="linuxtranslate"

Note that at present, shadow translate mode does not yet support grant 
tables, so for now this will only work with a ramdisk.

Peace,
  -George

Comments:
  - the config option text should note that this is experimental.
  - the ''2nd try'' of the ReactOS patch factored out the ELF
loading code
    to a different file (xc_elf_load.c); this builder should use that file
    rather than duplicating the code.

I''ll submit a new patch tonight after the unstable tree is more... um, 
stable. :-)
