Hi all,

   I've merged with xen-ustable and added Isaku's xenoprof patches and
Anthony's vIOSAPIC patch.  Thanks for submitting these, they get us
close to having a working tree.  We still have some work to do.  I went
ahead an pushed out the changes even though things are broken so that we
can fix them before 3.0.4.  If you're not interested in debugging the
tree, xen-ia64-unstable.hg changeset 12525 was the last one prior to the
upstream merges.

   The attached patch enables everything to build and boot up to a dom0
and starting xend.  Creating paravirtualized domains will fail (I
suspect the same is true of hvm domains).  I've noted areas in the patch
that need more work, specifically (but not limited to):

      * HVMOP_set_irq_level references are #ifdef'd out.  Anthony,
        should these be removed permanently?
      * I added oprofile to the buildconfig to work around the problem I
        mentioned last night:
        
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-ia64-devel/2006-11/msg00323.html 
I'm ok with turning this on in the default config, but we need to resolve the 
dependencies properly when oprofile is not enabled (Isaku?)
      * The HVM domain builder changed significantly.  I updated it
        enough to build, but things are likely missing (like
        add_vcpus_hob()).
      * xc_domain_translate_gpfn_list() is gone.  This may affect both
        the linux and hvm builders.  On domU, xc_map_foreign_range() is
        not happy when setting up start_info.

Please review the patch and let me know what's valid, what's wrong, and
what's missing.  I'm sure it's not inclusive of all the problems we're
going to need to fix, xen-unstable has been busy.  Thanks for your help,

        Alex
