More elaborated answer:

On linux/ia64, kernel is linearly mapped into guest physical memory.  The same 
is true for process kernel stacks.  Therefore all kernels structure are 
linear in guest physical memory.

Kernel data may of course cross page boundaries.  But Xen can correctly handle 
this using only the guest physical address.

Is something wrong ?  Is something that don't apply on powerpc ?

Tristan.
