[2.6.23-rc2] no Xen for x86_64?

Hi,

i noticed, that there is no Xen option in 2.6.23-rc2's menuconfig on
x86_64, yet. On i386, it's there.

Any knows, if support for x86_64 domU will be in 2.6.23 final or even
rc3? Or has "paravirt_ops" been delayed for x86_64 ?


Thanks,
  Sven

There are a people actively working on the x86_64 port of paravirt_ops,
and the associated lguest / xen ports on top of that. There's no way it'll
be ready in time for 2.6.23 though. Perhaps something 2.6.24 but its pretty
hard to predict LKML merge dates !

Yesterday, there has been a mail called "Introducing paravirt_ops for
x86_64" in the LKML.

Seems like a first version of paravirt_ops has been developed.

(Maybe Xen developers should take a look, if everything has been done
the right way ...)
