Oh, sorry. I misread it. Okay, so the approach looks sane.
- The functions newly added in arch/ia64/xen/domain.c are hvm domain
specific. So please move them under arch/ia64/xen/vmx/.
- The pages for vhpt is allocated by alloc_domheap_pages(NULL, ...),
Thus those memory doesn't accounted to the domain.
So adjusting domain memory size doesn't make sense. Just drop it.
- Is vhpt_page[] really necessary?
How about setting hcb->hash directly instead of temporary
keeping it in vhpt_page[]?
Probably adjusting codes of resource allocating/freeing might be required,
though.
thanks,
