Hi Isaku,

Just catching up on old mail - I'm not really happy with this part
from the current tree:

#define NUM_MEM_DESCS           64 //large enough

Is that what you are trying to reduce? Sorry I'm a bit behind on my
email. Basically for dom0 thats a problem since on larger multi-node
systems we easily have far more and we need at least one per node.

Cheers,
Jes
