Subject: [PATCH 16/18] xenpaging: prevent page-out of first 16MB
Date: Fri, 15 Oct 2010 16:12:18 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101015141207.887101401@aepfle.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20101015141202.309585877@aepfle.de

[-- Attachment #1: xenpaging.blacklist.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 798 bytes --]

This is more a workaround than a bugfix:
Don't page out first 16MB of memory.
When the BIOS does its initialization process and xenpaging removes pages,
crashes will occour due to lack of support of xenpaging.
