Can I replace pkrs[8];tmp[8]; with pkrs[16] to use this for protection keys or
should I expand pkrs and leave tmp[8] untouched. How about changing the
layout - is this possible here?
In addition I would use a define for the number of pkrs. The only way to get
this is define it in arch-ia64.h for use from vmm and domU. Is this OK or is
there another solution possible?
Btw. I'll use Isaku's suggestion and will add a new hypercall to let vmm setup
the cpu-pkrs with the values the domU changed.
Thanks.
Dietmar.
