RE: [Xen-ia64-devel][Patch]Add two PAL calls which fix SMPwindowsinstallation crashing bug

["Zhang, Xing Z" <xing.z.zhang@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Kouya:
        I confirmed your patch can solve it. But I think it's a work around 
way. 
        Although it can prevent general fault raising which caused by write 
zero to PTA, it also makes SMP windows become to UP during installation. ( two 
vcpus 
SMP windows can work normal due to the value which used to judge whether 
cpu wake up successful happen equal to two. Actually, the value is a garbage 
value.)
        The PAL call patch can root fix it, and we have sent out new GFW. So I 
think
you not need wait.

Good good study,day day up ! ^_^
