Thank you for your insight.
I think, this is the commit you're talking about:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen.git;a=commit;h=09e5e7caf4eac83c010ec3d209cc3dfbe1444ae0
I will try to apply it to 3.0-rc1. If successful, I'll talk to Pasi in
order to change the Wiki page.
Regards,
Sven
