I was currently applying the latest patch queue to a current
xen-unstable+make prep-kernels (which hg clones
http://xenbits.xensource.com/linux-2.6.18-xen.hg).
I saw that the patch autotranslate-mmap.diff does not apply. The patch
removes a not needed autotranslate check. But in the code coming
currently from http://xenbits.xensource.com/linux-2.6.18-xen.hg is a
"idndef __powerpw__" around there which a) would do the job and b)
lets
the patch not match.
Your patchnote says that this does not apply to other architectures and
I support every approach to reduce ifdefs ;-)
Because of that I updated the autotranslate-mmap.diff and attached it
here for you inclusion in our patchqueue for 2.6.18.
Additionally this mentioning to that sub-patch gives everyone the chance
to comment the "does not affect other architectures" statement -
therefor I add xen-devel here too.
