Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH][RESEND] Control panel changes for IA64/VTI

BTW, the reason for an ia64 specific get_pfn_list (by Matt) is that machine pages for domain on ia64 are allocated on demand. So there's requirement for parameters to contain start_pfn and nr_pages so that Xen can allocate necessary pages for that specific range. On x86 side, since all the pages are allocated when domain creation, get_pfn_list is aimed to query once for all pages and so the parameter can be only nr_pages. Just the background here. ;-)

We could have a common interface then. All the uses of get_pfn_list in common or x86 code will have start_pfn==0.

The patches look okay, although the Python bits aren't particularly pretty.
