Thread-topic: [PATCH] clean up xen_mkbuildtree_pre (was Re: [Xen-ia64-devel] xen-devel VP status and xen-mkbuildtree-pre)
Many months ago when we merged the Xenlinux/ia64 changes into
the main Xen -sparse tree, there were a number of changes
to Linux arch-neutral -sparse files necessary for Xenlinux/x86
that broke Xenlinux/ia64.  To work around this, we added
a script (xen-mkbuildtree-pre) that, when building Xenlinux/ia64,
moved some files around to avoid these problems.  It was ugly,
but effective.  However, it messes with the build directory
in a way that the distros are not very happy with.

Since then, there's been a lot of cleanup in Xenlinux(/x86)
and it appears there is only one remaining problem in Xenlinux
common code -- a one line change to sparse/mm/Kconfig; see
below.

Once this is in, xen-mkbuildtree-pre can be greatly trimmed
(though not yet completely eliminated).

Could you please apply the one-line change below to mm/Kconfig?
Yamahata-san is away for a few days so I can't ask him
for a signed-off-by line... since it is trivial, you can
sign it yourself, or use mine:

Signed-off-by: Dan Magenheimer <dan.magenheimer@xxxxxx>

The attachment includes the cleanup so far in xen-mkbuildtree-pre,
which requires one other source code workaround to be removed
to successfully compile.  If you could also apply the attached patch,
it would re-enable tip to compile on ia64.

Apologies that I can't provide a clean single patch.  I'm
working remotely and am having some file copy problems.

Thanks,
Dan
