It hasn't been regularly tested for some time, it is not shipped by any vendor afaik, and all guest ports with a significant ongoing development effort behind them now support PAE and/or 64-bit modes. Further, a test of the waters on xen-devel back in March did not elicit much of a response in support of non-pae. Removing it gets rid of a column on the test matrix (a column which isn't tested by anyone anyway) and goes some way to reduce our ifdef maze in many memory-management source files. -- Keir _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel |
