This changeset changed the layout of the structure, and 3.1 as well as
2.6.23 use the old layout, while 3.1.1 uses to new one. I'm also puzzled
about the need for an MFN to be uint64_t rather than xen_pfn_t.

Thanks for clarification,
Jan

Xen 3.1.0 does not support that vcpu operation. 3.1.1 is the first stable
Xen release to support it. The old definition in 2.6.23 is a bug, and I
believe Jeremy already has a fix for 2.6.24.

The structure re-definition was to allow extensibility and to avoid having
to implement 32-on-64 shim code.

Yes, that's in now.   But I'm seeing guests hang mysteriously when they
use register_vcpu_info now...
