[PATCH 0/2] xen: arm: Ensure all PTE bits have a known value

[PATCH 0/2] xen: arm: Ensure all PTE bits have a known value

[Chris (Christopher) Brand]

Hi,

This is more-or-less what Julien requested. He noted that pt.contig was never
set to zero. When I looked further, I found other bits that were also never
given a value. Looking at the callsites, they almost all seem to assume a value
of zero, so that's what I went with.

Patch 1 re-orders the assignments to match the declaration, making it clearer
which ones are missing. Patch 2 then adds the missing bits.

Chris
P.S. Apologies for any threading issues - I have not yet managed to get git
send-email working properly.

I'm usually using git format-patch to get a list of files (one per 
patch) and my cover letter (--cover-letter).

Then I use git send-email *.patch which will send the patch correctly 
threading.

Thanks.

Yeah, the difficulty is finding the right set of --smtp* options to get it
through our corporate mail server. I had it working once upon a time
when I was working for Linaro, but something somewhere seems to have
changed :-)
