[Xen-devel] [PATCH] x86: allow grant table originating pte-s to have their guest available bits set



In order to allow 2.6.27's get_user_pages_fast() to correctly detect
granted pages (so they would be passed to get_user_pages()), it must be
possible to tell the grant table code in Xen to set the three available
bits in the pte-s it creates.

While not applicable to the 2.6.18 tree, I'm nevertheless attaching our
Linux side patch for reference.
