Hi all,

Xen is not limited by the QEMU's virtual address space for the allocation of
the guest RAM. So even with a QEMU 32bits, a Xen guest can have more than 4 GB
of RAM.

With this serie, we will be able to run a guest with more than 4GB. The main
point is to change ram_addr_t from ulong to uin64 when QEMU is configure with
Xen. The second point is better register the memory in QEMU.

Regards,


Anthony PERARD (5):
  xen: Fix xen_enabled().
  exec.c: Use ram_addr_t in cpu_physical_memory_rw(...).
  cpu-common: Have a ram_addr_t of uint64 with Xen.
  xen: Fix the memory registration to reflect of what is done by Xen.
  vl.c: Check the asked ram_size later.

 cpu-common.h |    8 ++++++++
 exec.c       |   13 +++++++------
 hw/xen.h     |    2 +-
 vl.c         |   14 ++++++++------
 xen-all.c    |   23 +++++++++++++++--------
