Hi,

A new version of the shadow2 patch is now available at
http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~tjd21/shadow2.patch
(md5: 20e56b90a32621ce3d1833a8d9fd769b  shadow2.patch)

This version is more complete, and contains some optimizations over the
previous one, as well as various bug fixes.  It is known to have
problems on 64bit and AMD systems right now.  We also intend to add
support for log-dirty mode (PV migration) very soon, and benchmark to
decide which optimizations to keep.

Any feedback on this patch would be very welcome.  Please have a play
with it if you're interested in shadow mode or HVM.

Cheers,

Tim.
