Re: Design doc of adding ACPI support for arm64 on Xen - version 2

Hi,

I'm working on re-spinning this patchset while encountering a werid
problem about xzalloc_bytes.

Since I need to copy some ACPI tables, I need to allocate some memory
for it. So there are a few places calling xzalloc_bytes. And it fails at
the fifth one. The log is shown as following:
