I don;t think we'd have a problem with incorportaing support for ia64-be if there's a good reason for it (a better reason than "because it's possible"). > The other way would be building wrappers around all the accesses to > domU/hypervisor interfaces and hide the SWAPs there.

Open-coding the SWAP()s is pretty grim. -- Keir _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel |
