Thread-topic: [Xen-ia64-devel][PATCH]add two more PAL call emulations
Hi Yoshi,

This patch was done about one month again, and I forgot to check in.

Before, these two PAL calls were handled by Guest Firmware,
While the Guest Firmware is old, 
But new IPF processor has split L2 cache,
So new processor has five caches, 2 L1 cache, 2 L2 cache, 1 L3 cache,
Old processor has four caches, 2 L1 cache, 1 L2 cache, 1 L3 cache,
The Guest Firmware will return 4 caches.

FC6 will get these information to initiate Cache, if use old implementation,
There are issues.

We will send the new Firmware out.

Anthony
