I meant to adapt the head.S to map XEN on a convenient memory space
(considering
our specific board) and to enable the static mapping for XEN. Basically,
what you did will
probably be sufficient provided some adjustments with the addresses.
Damien will be then able to
work out the ARM-specific allocation of pages for the guest domains. I
will check with him to try coordinating the efforts.
