Thread-topic: [PATCH]Allow different config file for xenlinux on same arch
Hi, Dan,
        Any comments upon this thread? We also posted the patch to xen mailing 
list earlier, since it changes common part. Previously the generic one was once 
checked in, but then reversed back to ZX specific one. However customer is 
waiting for specific configuration file to run on tiger box. So below is 
another way to achieve it. If you agree with this alternative, please help push 
it since it's a key step to let XEN/IA64 deployed and experienced more widely. 
;-)

Thanks,
Kevin
