Re: [Xen-ia64-devel] Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH] Add lost logic for VGAiniti

It's IA64 specific. On xen/x86, vga bios is copied to 0xD0000 by guest

initialization vga state at power on and so does guest firmware. That's
why that vga bios initialization stub is required for vti domain, to match
platform requirement.

Thanks, makes sense.
