It would be nice to have these 2 patches for Xen 4.5. This is the > only patch necessary in Xen in order to run OS using 64KB page > granularity as DOM0. Wei acked the patch at "Thu, 25 Jun 2015 13:58:26 +0100" after the discussion around the docs which concluded at "Thu, 25 Jun 2015 12:45:49 +0100", IOW I have assumed this Ack to mean he is ok with them going in with a docs patch to follow. Hence I have acked them myself and applied. Please do follow up with the promised doc patch. Ian.
