RE: [Xen-ia64-devel] config files and dom0/domU

["Tian, Kevin" <kevin.tian@xxxxxxxxx>]

Could you please say more about your finding, like which part of console 
frontend requiring CONFIG_XEN_PRIVILEGED_GUEST on? I didn't find yet.

BTW, I'd like to see default value is 'n' as:
config XEN_PRIVILEGED_GUEST
-       bool
+       bool "Privileged Guest"
        default n       <------------------------

That can promise no user intervention required when make oldconfig with proper 
xen0/xenU config file. The reason is absence of explicit symbol to mark an item 
off in .config file ("XXX is not set" still goes to default option of that 
item). If default to 'y' here, actually user will always be prompt to choose 
n/y/m when make oldconfig for xenU and definitely we don't want that. ;-)

Thanks,
Kevin
