Subject: [PATCH] increase initial memory reservation for stubdom based HVM domains
Date: Thu, 15 Jan 2009 16:46:00 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <496F6848.5040800@eu.citrix.com> (raw)

Hi all,
this patch requests 32 additional MB of free RAM from dom0 when an HVM
domain is started, if the device model for the domain is provided by a
stubdom.
This way there is no risk that a stubdom fails to populate the videoram
because the RAM freed for the videoram by dom0 has already been used to
create the stubdom.
