Re: [Xen-ia64-devel] FW: IA-64 serial driver

How about using "xenconsole=" and "xencom2=" to differentiate
from the dom0 xenlinux command line parameters?  Then there
won't be an ordering constraint (which as you point out could
lead to a common problem).

The parameter names and the command-line parser are not arch-specific, so this would be quite hard to do. An alternative might be to specify a shared command line in the form:
 "xen(<xen params here>) dom0(<dom0 params here>)"
Then, in your ia64 start-of-day code you pull the shared command line out into two separate strings: the first you pass off to cmdline_parse() and the second you pass off to domain0.

I think this is a cleaner format and will have a cleaner implementation.
