Hi Isaku,
This doesn't compile for me:
LD .tmp_vmlinux1
arch/ia64/xen/built-in.o:(.paravirt_entry+0x8): undefined reference to
`PARAVIRT_ST_SWITCH_TO'
arch/ia64/xen/built-in.o:(.paravirt_entry+0x18): undefined reference to
`PARAVIRT_ST_TRACE_SYSCALL'
arch/ia64/xen/built-in.o:(.paravirt_entry+0x28): undefined reference to
`PARAVIRT_ST_RET_FROM_CLONE'

make[5]: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1
make[4]: *** [vmlinuz] Error 2
make[3]: *** [vmlinuz] Error 2
Is there a file missing in the patch? Thanks,
Alex
