Hi, Dan,
Actually... I gave up. ;-( It's easier to bring back previous fixes
even when merge process made some regression, than manually pull in some
specific changesets which furthermore require other related ones. Now
xen_start_info becomes a pointer, and console driver was completely re-written
to utilize xenstore, and more... So, please begin to merge the xenlinux, as a
necessary step for subsequent debug. ;-)
Thanks,
Kevin
