Re: Domain0/Domain 1 and ring1 (x86) - tracing question

[John Que <qwejohn@gmail.com>]

Hello, 

 Thanks; 
This uses  FLAT_KERNEL_CS (and not BOOT_CS). 
(It could be that BOOT_CS is not needed at all. As I said, I had grepped
for BOOT_CS and not for other defintions like FLAT_KERNEL_CS).

However,this satisfies me and it gives answer to my question.

Regarding build - I have no problem with build. It went OK.

Regads,
John
